Plum cake, hazelnuts, and milk chocolate. It sounds like something from a pastry shop, but this time all these treats are hidden in a cup! The Pedro Garcia blend from the Ostrava-based roastery Father’s will delight anyone who enjoys sweet-flavored pour-over coffee with a pleasant fruity note. The flavor combines notes of hazelnuts and plum cake, complemented by the subtle sweetness of milk chocolate. The result is a harmonious cup that’s perfect for enjoying every day.
Behind this coffee is Pedro Garcia Diaz and his family, who farm four hectares in the village of San Francisco in the San José del Alto region of Peru. Pedro participates in the harvest, pruning the coffee trees, and fertilizing, while his family members also help tend the farm. The region is about a four-hour drive from the city of Jaén, and due to rough roads and a small number of farming cooperatives, it is not easy for local farmers to get their harvest to buyers. Pedro is therefore part of the Specialty Plus project run by Falcon Coffees Peru, which buys coffee directly from growers and helps them improve its quality.
The coffee comes from the Tabi variety, bred in Colombia by crossing Typica and Bourbon varieties with a Timor hybrid. During its breeding, emphasis was placed on both coffee quality and resistance to coffee rust. After careful harvesting, the cherries are left to rest for 24 hours, after which the skin and pulp are removed. This is followed by 36 hours of fermentation and drying for 10 to 15 days. Thanks to the washed processing method, a clean flavor profile shines through, in which fruity sweetness blends perfectly with nutty and chocolate notes.
