Peru Las Damas · The story behind Stand WatchFrom San Ignacio
to your everyday cup.
High-grown character.
Royal New York describes Las Damas growing at 1,500–1,750 meters. Cooler growing conditions can slow ripening and help shape flavor. Altitude is part of the coffee’s character, alongside variety, farming, and processing.
One origin, many hands.
Las Damas comes from producers within Peru’s COOPAFSI cooperative. Single origin identifies this growing community; it doesn’t mean the coffee comes from just one farm.
Washed, then dried.
The documented process is fully washed and patio dried. Rain and humidity make careful drying important. Importer field reports describe efforts to improve covered drying infrastructure.
A cup worth understanding.
Specialty Java’s medium roast features milk-chocolate, honey, and caramel tasting notes. These describe flavor, rather than added ingredients.
