Green, unroasted Arabica from Peru, graded HB MCM grade 1. Roasted, it gives a mild cup with medium to low acidity, a slightly sweet berry note and a touch of dark chocolate, and it leaves a pleasant aftertaste. These beans are raw: they need roasting before you can brew them. One kilo of green coffee for your roaster.

Details

Green Peruvian Arabica

This is raw coffee. Peru Arabica HB MCM grade 1 is sold unroasted, which means the roast is yours to decide. HB stands for hard bean, the grading term for the denser beans that come off higher ground.

How it tastes once roasted

Mild, with medium to low acidity and a rich aroma. A slightly sweet berry note runs through it with a touch of dark chocolate underneath, and the aftertaste is clean and pleasant rather than bitter. Nothing about this coffee is sharp, which makes it a forgiving one to drink black.

Roasting it

Where you stop the roast decides most of the character. Pull it early, at a lighter roast, and the berry sweetness and the acidity stay in the cup. Take it darker and the chocolate side comes forward while the fruit fades back. Green beans also keep far longer than roasted ones, which is the practical argument for buying a kilo and roasting it in small batches as you go rather than all at once.

Produced in	Peru

Even though coffee made its way to Peru as far back as the 1700s, it wasn't until the late 1800s that exports started to pick up. Before that, most of the coffee grown in Peru was enjoyed locally. When coffee plants in Indonesia were hit by leaf rust in the late 19th century, a country that played a key role in European coffee imports back then, Europeans began to look for their caffeine fix elsewhere. Peru turned out to be a grand option.
