{"product_id":"peru-el-lechero-yellow-caturra","title":"Peru El Lechero Yellow Caturra","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur final single origin Peru of the 2025 harvest comes from Ulises Nayra and Victoria Ramos at Finca El Lechero, and we’re stoked to have their yellow caturra back at Huck!  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe source our Peruvian coffees through Origin Coffee Lab, and when we first visited back in 2021, we tasted one coffee that prompted a very quick “whoa, what is that?” Floral and vibrant, not quite Gesha-level intensity, but definitely moving in that same direction, and different than what we had expected. That coffee was a yellow caturra variety from Ulises Nayra and Victoria Ramos, and luckily, Ulises was actually delivering more coffee to Origin at the same time we were cupping. It was a no-brainer to chat, then visit his farm a few days later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaturra - typically bearing red cherries - is a fairly common coffee variety throughout Latin America, prized for both solid productivity and a sweet, if more traditional, flavor profile. But there is a mutation of caturra that produces yellow cherries, and when kept separate and processed with care, it can be a completely distinct experience. Floral, bright, complex, and delicate. It’s not quite at the intensity level of a Gesha or Pink Bourbon, but it’s a unique experience, and arguably a mellower, easier drinker than those other two, currently-fashionable varieties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEl Lechero is named after a tree on the farm that produces a milky sap when cut, and this coffee is truly a family effort. Ulises and Victoria oversee both coffee and granadilla production on the farm, their son Dilver splits time between Origin’s cupping lab in San Ignacio and agronomy studies, and Ulise's mother Esperanza and stepfather Maximiliano live just down the road, with family members helping on both farms. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe’re digging El Lechero for not just its elegant complexity, but also its uniqueness from our other Perus - chocolatey Familia Peralta and fruity La Pomarrosa. Cookie-like sweetness, a mix of stone fruit and currant fruit tones, citrus acidity, and soft florals for the win.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*** for roasting schedule, shipping, receiving \u0026amp; additional information, please visit out \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/huckleberryroasters.com\/pages\/faq\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/a\u003e .
