Centri Organic Peru Cajamarca Medium Roast Coffee

Organic Peru Cajamarca Medium Roast Coffee: profile and selection

Vanilla bean leads the tasting description for Centri Organic Peru Cajamarca, followed by caramel and cherry in the finish. The listed coffee comes from family farms around San Ignacio in northern Peru. A medium roast and rounded sweetness make this a useful origin coffee for someone seeking detail without a strongly roast-driven cup.

This page preserves the roaster’s documented origin, process, roast, tasting, format and story details without filling gaps with assumptions. The factual profile below is the scope of the current product record.

Current selections include 12 oz or 5 lb; whole bean and three prepared grinds. Confirm the exact size, grind, caffeine choice and flavor when applicable before ordering.

Coffee profile

Brew for Medium coffee

For filter brewing, begin with 20 grams of coffee and 320 grams of filtered water around 198–202°F. Use a medium grind for whole beans, wet the grounds evenly and taste the cup at more than one temperature.

If the result is hollow or sharply sour, grind finer. If it becomes dry or bitter, move coarser. Hold dose and water constant during the first adjustment, then change brew ratio only after extraction feels balanced.

For immersion, try 30 grams to 500 grams with a medium-coarse grind and decant after about four minutes. Compare body and clarity across filtration methods while keeping beverage strength reasonably similar.

Use a scale for dose and water. Beverage yield, drawdown and total contact time are diagnostic measurements rather than goals by themselves. Evaluate body, acidity, clarity and finish together, then make the smallest useful adjustment.

Whole-bean customers can use a consistent grinder such as the Turin DF54 grinder for controlled adjustments. Prepared grounds work best when the supplied texture matches the brewer.

How to choose and evaluate this coffee

Start with 18 g coffee and 290 g water in a small filter brewer. Taste when comfortably warm and again after cooling, noting whether the vanilla-like aroma or cherry impression is easier to recognize. Keep milk out of the first sample so it does not become the source of the creamy impression you are evaluating.

Fresh roasted coffee releases gas. Degassing can change bloom, drawdown and espresso flow over the life of the bag, so expect small grind corrections while keeping dose and beverage yield documented.

For shared brewing, post the preferred dose and water weight beside the brewer. A repeatable baseline helps several people produce similar strength and makes feedback about acidity, body and finish more useful.

Freshness, storage and repeatability

Use filtered water that tastes clean on its own. Water chemistry affects perceived acidity, sweetness and extraction, so keep the same water source while dialing in before deciding that a coffee or flavor profile is unsuitable.

Record the coffee dose, water weight, grinder setting and total contact time for the first few brews. A short brew log is more useful than changing several variables from memory and makes later reordering easier.

Frequently asked questions

Ordering and shipping

This coffee ships directly from the roaster partner. Roasted coffee does not qualify for free shipping; shipping charges are set by the partner. Coffee orders are not eligible for returns or cancellations, so review the exact variant in the cart before checkout.

When the shipment arrives, retain the roaster label and record the selected format with the first brew. That detail makes recipe adjustments and reordering more reliable than relying on the product name alone.
