Fun fact first. The name of the farm coincidently is the same as the one from Miguel Ramirez, though it is not the same farm. They are like 20km far away from each other. Both farmers didn’t know that before we were asking them.
When Thomas Pingen brought the Sidra (007) Seedlings, he didn’t forget about the Wush Wush ones. Same beautiful story, different coffee, if you are wondering :)
Sure is one thing. This coffee is intresting for one main reason (next to the fact that it is super delicious): A Wush Wush is a rare thing to find. When like this one grown in Peru, it is super rare. Thank you Clever for this Gem! And guys, do not worry about the natural process. This one is a super clean natural very much comparable to a high quality Ethiopia natural in style.
Also in taste this coffee has lots in common with an Ethiopia Natural (very surprising speaking of a Wush Wush, which is an Ethiopian landrace variety).
Expect a clean creamy body with a lot of floridity, a smooth black tea like aftertaste reminding us of Oolong, a citric and tartaric acidity like bergamot and green grapes and a honey sweetness.
Overall a super balanced clean cup nothing short of Ethiopia at its best. But this time delivered by Peruvian terror. And you will find a touch Peru in it for sure. What a beautiful coffee and story!
