About the Producer

Rony Lavan is an ambitious and quality-driven cupper who has spent his career trying to carve out better and bolder coffees from small producers in Peru. While the country is emerging as a specialty market after many years of focusing on bigger lots and certifications, Rony’s passion is with identifying and developing the top scores and the best cups.

As president of the young Lima Coffees exporting organization, Rony has already established himself as standing at the fore of microlot-quality coffees in Cajamarca. His first year with Lima Coffees, he entered the national competition and won; with the introduction of the Cup of Excellence competition to Peru in 2017, the country is poised to enter the international spotlight for its finest offerings. Rony and his coffees will be the ones to watch.

This might be my new favorite. Roasted a pound–brought it to full city roast, let it rest a day, then made a press. The coffee has a sweet, buttery, molasses aroma. Silky mouthfeel, and honey/citrusy flavor with a hint of acid tang on the back end. Not as warm as the Colombia I bought last time, but this seems more balanced.
