The Namballe district is located in Northern Peru, nearby the boarder with Ecuador. The area is within the buffer zone of the Tabaconas Namballe National Sanctuary – an ecosystem protected by the Peruvian government, home to threatened species such as the spectacled bear, and the highland tapir. This area is also unique in the fauna, where unlike the surrounding region, there are very humid grasslands and Amazonian plants. In recent years, two brand new species have been discovered here: a fruit bat, and a rice mouse.
Coffee growers in this area are extremely conscious of preservation, taking steps to protect the ecosystem, such as completely prohibiting hunting.
It's a great example of coffee being grown in harmony with nature, and the way these things can coexist when done properly.
This is a great, fresh-harvest lot. In the cup, we're tasting notes of brown sugar, blackberry, and green apple. It's incredibly sweet, well balanced, and totally refreshing.
Frequently Asked Questions
When Will My Order Ship?
We roast Monday through Friday, and most orders ship the next roast day from when they are placed.
The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.
Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?
Yes!
First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.
Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.
Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.
Any other questions? Just drop us a line.
Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?
While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.
All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.
Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.
