  • Stewed Apple
  • Candied Orange
  • Caramel
  • Cinnamon

Mum's Dessert is the cup you come home to. Stewed apple and candied orange first, smooth caramel as it cools, and a soft cinnamon warmth on the finish — like an apple dessert fresh from the oven.

Grown by Milton Torres at Los Cajones in Cajamarca, this classic washed Caturra matures slowly in the elevated conditions of the Peruvian Andes. Careful pulping, controlled fermentation and slow drying keep the cup clean and comforting.

We've roasted it for filter — warm, familiar and effortlessly drinkable.

Chapter 01 · The Producer

A washed Caturra from Milton Torres.

Milton Torres farms Los Cajones in Cajamarca, among the dramatic landscapes of the Peruvian Andes. His coffee reflects the country's long smallholder tradition — careful cultivation and close attention through harvest, producing cups of exceptional sweetness, balance and clarity. At around 1,800 metres, cherries mature slowly and evenly. After harvest they are carefully pulped, fermented under control and washed clean, then dried slowly to protect the coffee's delicate structure. Cofinet, our import partner, brought this lot to us.

Super nice intro to the espresso program, lighter brew. Nice undertones. Would recommend if it’s your first bag of the program

Very interesting brew, I can definitely smell and taste the strawberry component with a pleasant chocolate powdery finish, extremely drinkable.

★★★★★

This is a fantastic coffee. Very fruit forward, tastes like cherry Starburst. Great as a filter coffee, but if you like adventurous espresso, this makes for an interesting cortado.
