One of our flagship coffees, the specialty beans from Peru Tunki, shade-grown in the Andes at an altitude of 1600 - 1800m amongst the most beautiful flora and fauna of the Tambopata Valley. This coffee is traditionally farmed and produced without the use of pesticides or chemicals. The Peru Tunki has won several awards, including the Rainforest Alliance's Cupping for Quality, held at the Speciality Coffee Association of America (SCAA) Lab in Long Beach California. In 2012 it was one of the best coffees of the year in the Roasters Guild Competition. It won first place in the National CafA expo awards in Lima and was the coffee used by the third place winner in the UK barista final. This exclusive organic coffee encompasses intensity of flavour, full body and citrus acidity. Tunki boasts a superb floral aroma with sweet chocolate and treacle notes, enhanced with undertones of citrus and red berries. Roast: [2.5] Medium

Origin and Plantation The Dominican Republic was one of the first colonies that received coffee seeds from Martinique at the beginning of the 18th century. In the last decades the Republic endured crisis, revolutions and poverty. The country and economy has been recovering slowly. Apart from tourism, the export of coffee is a very important economic factor for the country. Dominican Republic produces high quality coffee which ripens under ideal growing conditions on many small farms. Barahona, in the northwest of the island, is the best cultivation region of the country. The raw coffees are washed and dried in the sun. Character and Taste In Japan, this coffee is regularly blended with the famous Jamaica Blue Mountain. This became an insider tip in the USA a long time ago, since it promises an ideal combination of acidity, body and aroma. The coffee gets its extraordinarily intense sweetness due to the careful processing. This coffee is a fine, exotic speciality in our assortment.
