This short run espresso is covering a logistical mishap - our next espresso was due to be unloaded into the warehouse on the first of may - we found out on the 5th that not only had it not landed in the country, it was delayed by 3 weeks with a transhipment and was still on the water.  A mad scrabble to look through the proverbial rolodex of cupping notes alighted us on this community lot from Chacra - super high altitude farms from a somewhat inaccessible and under-appreciated region of Peru, Cumaccha is named after the "Cataratas de Cumaccha" waterfalls, a local beauty spot hidden in the cloud forests - which is the perfect fodder for a brief to Lucas!

We’re tasting: 
Mega sweet & chocolate forward - we're getting yorkie esq biscuit & raisin with sweet milk chocolate. There's a mixture of fruit compote and cakey notes behind that remind us of mixed berry muffins with a crumble top, alongside dried mango and strawberry. There's a slight catimor note present that is expressing as walnut & brazil nut, and the processing is evident in the finish as just a hint of aperol style booziness, with a super dense body

In milk: Rum & raisin ice-cream
