What to Expect
This is a rare nanolot from Peru's Finca El Morito, processed through 72-hour anaerobic fermentation and a 30-day extended natural dry. The Marsellesa variety (a Catimor hybrid that punches well above its genetic weight) delivers blueberry and citrus fruit with a creamy body that softens the intensity.
The Cup
The body sits medium to heavy, with a creamy, rounded mouthfeel that carries the fruit without overwhelming it. Acidity is bright and citric, leaning tart but not sharp, thanks to the extended fermentation smoothing the edges. This is a fruit-forward cup with noticeable fermented character. The blueberry note is pronounced, bordering on jammy, and the anaerobic process brings a subtle boozy undertone. It's clean enough to avoid full funk territory, but this is not a neutral coffee. If you're used to washed Peruvians, this will surprise you.
Who This Is For
This suits adventurous filter drinkers who enjoy fruit-driven coffees and aren't put off by a bit of ferment character. The medium roast makes it approachable, but the anaerobic process keeps it interesting.
If you prefer a clean, straightforward cup or find natural-processed coffees too intense, this one will push your boundaries.
Best for: Fruit-loving filter drinkers who want something unusual without going full experimental.
How to Brew This Coffee
A V60 will give you the clarity to appreciate the anaerobic fermentation's unusual character and separate the blueberry from the citrus. Filter methods work well for this medium roast, balancing the fruit intensity with the creamy body. An Aeropress offers flexibility: shorter brews emphasise the body and sweetness, while longer extractions bring out more of the bright, fruity acidity.

A rare nanolot from the highlands of Peru, this Anaerobic and Extended Fermentation processed Marshell variety from Finca El Morito bursts with vibrant blueberry, citrus fruit along with a creamy body. Grown by Faustino Flores with exceptional care, it showcases the unique character and clarity of small-scale Peruvian craftsmanship.
This coffee is from the Neblina estate which is the part of the farm where they grow exotic varietals. Finca El Morito / Faustino Flores produce around 6000kg in total of the Marshell varietal and only put 10-15% through the natural process. Meaning that the coffee you are about to enjoy is part of only a few hundred kilos produced!
This coffee has a green coffee score of 88
