#21 Peru

Aromas Del Valle is located in the Cajamarca Region of Northern Peru. They went from being an association to a Cooperative in 2021. The cooperative is fairly small with about 300 members and was established in order to generate greater representation and participation among its members, to provide them with better access to public and private funding, and to develop niche markets and become an active participant in the coffee social movement both at national and international levels.

The mouth feel is really nice and smooth and goes really well as an espresso and drip coffee.  

As a general rule you should dial in your espresso using a scale. The first three shots is normally indicating your espresso flow and the appearance of how well your espresso flow/brew. Your first indicator should be the first drop appearing after activating starting the water flow (pump/bottom) I recommend the first drop to appear approx. at 6-8 sec. in that way your espressoshot will brew as long a 26-31 sec. If it appears before 4 sec. I will recommend you should grind finer and visa versa if the first drop appears to late/after 8 sec or more.
