A Little Deeper – San Antonio
San Antonio comes from the highland communities of Huabal in northern Peru, where coffee is grown on steep Andean slopes between 1,700 and 1,900 metres above sea level. Cool mountain temperatures and rich soils create ideal conditions for slow cherry development, allowing sweetness and complexity to build naturally within the fruit.
The coffee is produced by smallholder farmers whose plots are scattered across the rugged landscape. Harvested cherries are carefully selected and processed soon after picking, helping to preserve the clarity and structure that have made coffees from this region increasingly sought after.
Freshly harvested lots are evaluated and selected quickly at source, ensuring that quality is maintained from farm to roastery. This careful approach allows the coffee’s natural characteristics to shine through, delivering a cup that feels precise, balanced and expressive.
In the cup, bright mandarin citrus provides the opening note before soft layers of hazelnut and almond begin to emerge. As the coffee cools, a deeper dark chocolate character develops, supported by a gentle wafer-like sweetness that lingers long after the final sip.
There is an understated confidence to San Antonio. It doesn’t demand attention with explosive fruit or intense acidity. Instead, it offers balance, comfort and clarity, bringing together citrus brightness and nutty chocolate sweetness in a way that feels complete from the first sip to the last. A coffee with plenty of detail for those looking closely, but approachable enough to enjoy every day.
