History

From the producer Merci Fernandez, La Pomarrosa is a fresh and fruity coffee from the region of Colasay in Peru. You may recall this coffee from last year and we enjoyed it so much, we are now looking to build a long-term relationship with Merci Fernandez and her coffees, as we do with many of the other producers that we work with.

Merci is part of the young generation of coffee producers, and started working with coffee after observing her family run their farms. She has received a degree in “Agricultural and Livestock Production”, while she simultaneously helped her family on their farm. This level of education both academic and practical, builds such a strong foundation on which to produce coffee sustainably and to the highest quality.

Merci’s coffee is 100% organic. She cultivates bourbon, and the harvest on her farms lasts for approximately four to five months. Flowering goes from October to December, coffees are harvested from June to September, and sold in October.

Our Roastery Manager Mikolaj was blown away by the quality of the coffees produced by Merci during his visit to Peru in October 2023, so its no surprise that they have continued to blow us away, and we’re working with this coffee once again. In the cup, you can expect a beautiful representation of a washed Bourbon coffee from the Colasay region in Peru, with complex acidity, a heavy body and a smooth mouthfeel. Deep flavours of red apple, wild strawberry, granadilla, and tropical fruit with long-lasting floral aftertaste.
