What to Expect
This washed Peruvian from San Ignacio delivers the kind of approachable sweetness that makes morning coffee easy. Stewed apple and brown sugar lead, with hazelnut rounding out the cup — think comfort rather than fireworks.
The Cup
Medium body with a soft, rounded mouthfeel. The washed process keeps things clean and straightforward, letting the gentle sweetness come through without any funk or ferment character. Acidity is moderate and mellow — more baked apple than citrus — which makes this an easy drinker across the day. The hazelnut note adds a nutty warmth that balances the fruit without tipping into heaviness.
Who This Is For
If you want a reliable, sweet, uncomplicated coffee that works well in any brewing method, this is it. Perfect for those who prefer their coffee smooth and approachable rather than bright and challenging.
If you're chasing high acidity, floral complexity, or experimental funk, this won't deliver that.
Best for: Daily drinkers who value consistency, sweetness, and a forgiving cup that doesn't demand precision brewing.
How to Brew This Coffee
The balanced profile makes this versatile. Try it as espresso where the brown sugar sweetness and hazelnut come forward with good body. It works beautifully in a French press, emphasising the rounded mouthfeel and nutty warmth. For a cleaner expression of the stewed apple character, use a filter method to highlight the washed process clarity.

"Montaña," translating to "mountain" in Spanish, is the name of this organic, regional blend. The name reflects the high-altitude conditions and the mountainous terrain of San Ignacio where this coffee is produced by small-scale coffee farmers.
San Ignacio is located in the Cajamarca department of Peru, nestled in amongst the Andes mountain range, where the nutrient-rich volcanic soil is ideal for specialty coffee production. Part of the wider Chanchamayo coffee belt, recognized for its excellent coffee-growing conditions, coffee from this region is known for high sweetness and full-bodied flavour.
In addition to coffee, San Ignacio is known for its biodiversity and rich cultural heritage. The province is home to indigenous communities and a mix of traditional and modern farming techniques.
Montaña is made up primarily of Catimor, Pache and Typica varieties, grown at elevations between 1,400 and 1,700m. The coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, then floated and hand-sorted to eliminate any defects. The coffee cherries are de-pulped and undergo 20 to 30 hours of fermentation. Following this, the parchment is gently washed and placed in a shaded area for drying, a process that takes 15 to 20 days until the ideal moisture content is achieved.

Ways to Brew
-
Espresso
Coffees hand-picked for espresso, chosen by analysing each one's roast, body and flavour rather than relying on the roaster's label. These are beans with the sweetness, depth and structure to pull a rich, balanced shot under pressure, from chocolatey blends to fruit-forward single origins. Every coffee here earned its place by how it actually performs in the basket. New to pulling shots? Read our espresso brewing basics.
-
French Press
A collection of coffees matched to full-immersion brewing, where a metal filter lets body and oils come through in full. We've analysed each one for the weight and richness that suit the press, giving you bold, textured, deeply satisfying cups. If you like your coffee full-bodied, these beans are chosen for you. New to it? See our guide to French press brewing.
-
Filter
Coffees curated for batch and pour-over filter brewing, assessed individually for the qualities this gentle, even extraction brings out. These are beans with the transparency and layered flavour that filter is loved for, chosen for their brightness and balance to deliver a clean, easy-drinking pot every time. For technique and ratios, read how to brew filter coffee.
