Sourcing notes

Volcan Azul, a farm more than a hundred years old, is now run by Alejo Castro, the sixth generation of farmers. Alejo, who is in his thirties, is part of the modern coffee movement and has considerably developed his production: plot-based planting, adaptation of prestigious botanical varieties, a strategy of sustainability and goldsmith's precision in the many processes used on the farm.

Anaerobic fermentation, mastered here and far from fashionable stereotypes, adds power to this already extraordinary coffee.

Tasting notes

Volcan Azul - Geisha Anaérobique Nature 

Nose: rich aromas of kirsch cherries and panela.

In the mouth:  the cup combines the juiciness of black cherry, the roundness of tropical fruit, the sweetness of rooibos and the liveliness of clementine. A dense, syrupy body. 

Banyuls and violets round off the finish of this complex, gourmet cup! 

Volcan Azul - Typica Lima 

The nose : rich and fruity, with notes of flambéed pineapple, grenadine and spicy miso. 

The cup : the cup is syrupy, full-bodied and oscillates between the deliciousness of Banana Bread, amber rum and a sublime cocoa bean with red fruit undertones. The cocoa bean and light lemongrass finish is persistent.

Volcan Azul - SL28 (offert)

On the nose: notes of strawberry and grand cru chocolate

On the palate: the cup is silky and enveloping. The lactic body and notes of cherry and chocolate are reminiscent of the black forest. A long, sweet finish with notes of cocoa and strawberry. 

This coffee is roasted for both espresso and slow coffee methods.
