Peru Miraflores from the Zrno44 roastery in Pardubice combines fresh fruity notes with a delicately sweet, harmonious finish. The cup reveals dominant flavors of gooseberry, juicy peach, and apple, which are balanced in the background by classic notes of chocolate and caramel. This coffee offers a balanced experience without unnecessary embellishments, emphasizing a clean flavor profile that reflects the specific conditions of its origin and the careful work of the producers.
The beans for this coffee come from the high-altitude Miraflores farm, located in the Amazonas region, in the Lonya Grande and Ortiz de Arrieta areas. The farm was founded in 2002 by Manuel Rojas and Esther Requejo, who decided to focus on growing high-quality specialty coffee with an emphasis on sustainability. The cultivation areas, spanning more than 105 hectares of land, underwent replanting after 2013 following a severe outbreak of coffee rust. Currently, at an elevation of approximately 1,900 meters above sea level, they grow the Java variety, whose meticulous processing is tailored to the region’s characteristics.
This lot is processed using the honey method, also known as the honey process, which aligns with the Zrno44 product label, even though the farm’s original supplier documentation also considered the washed processing method. The honey process imparts specific characteristics to the coffee, as the beans are dried with some of the pulp still attached, which influences the overall flavor profile and highlights its fruity sweetness.
