Perlitas has returned! This renowned coffee just landed, and we're thrilled to welcome this customer-favorite back to the menu. In this iteration, we're loving the nectarine, tart red plum, and subtle guava undertones. Perlitas also makes fabulous cold coffee! Also available green for home roasters.
The Las Perlitas project sources and combines coffees that are otherwise too-small-volume to export on their own. Stephen from The Coffee Quest identifies these coffees and masterfully unites them into a wonderful creation lovingly called Perlitas, little pearls. This 6th lot is a powerhouse of varieties: pink bourbon, caturra, geisha, and a touch of aruzi.
