Are you in the mood for an exceptional cup of filter coffee bursting with exotic fruit? The NOMAD roastery brings you coffee lovingly grown by Enma Palacios. This year’s harvest offers an incredibly complex flavor profile that you’re sure to enjoy. Yellow peach takes center stage in this brew, seamlessly complemented by papaya and sweet persimmon. This tropical journey is underscored by subtle notes of fragrant lavender. The body itself is syrupy and conceals a pronounced sweetness reminiscent of dulce de leche, honey, and fine cocoa powder. The juicy acidity then brilliantly enlivens the entire taste experience. It’s the ideal choice for moments when you want to savor a truly layered and rich coffee with a distinct character.
The beans come from the Junín region of Peru, specifically from the province of Jauja. This area boasts a rich history and breathtaking mountains. The farm itself is located in the small Uchubamba Valley in the Masma district, right on the edge of the jungle. The local microclimate at an elevation of 2,000 meters creates absolutely ideal conditions for growing the Typica and Gesha varieties. Enma Palacios farms a one-hectare plot she inherited from her father. She grows not only coffee trees here but also other crops to support her family. Her daughter Dula, who works as a coffee expert, is a great source of support. Together, they strive each year to raise the quality of their harvest to ever higher and better levels.
The washed processing of this coffee is extremely meticulous and combines proven methods with precise timing. After being hand-picked, the whole coffee cherries are first fermented for 30 hours. This is followed by the removal of the outer skin, after which the beans are transferred to open concrete tanks. Here, the next phase of fermentation takes place , lasting 45 hours. The coffee is then thoroughly washed in crystal-clear water to remove all traces of pulp. The drying process itself takes place on elevated wooden platforms, where the beans slowly reach their final moisture content. The roastery provides financial support for this entire project, thereby encouraging the farmer to continue exploring new methods on her family farm.
