Tiny Footprint Peru Lima Cafe Medium Roast Coffee

Peru Lima Cafe Medium Roast Coffee: profile and selection

Caramel apple, ripe fruit and a sweet finish define Tiny Footprint Peru Lima Cafe. This organic, Fair Trade medium roast is sourced through the Lima Cafe cooperative in Cajamarca, where the roaster describes careful selection of smallholder lots for cup quality.

The current listing does not publish individual farms, producer names, cultivars, harvest year, fermentation protocol, lot identifier or current numerical cupping score.

This description separates documented coffee facts from information the supplier has not published. Confirm the selected size and grind in the cart before ordering.

Coffee profile

Brew for the documented roast and profile

Brew 20 grams of coffee with 335 grams of filtered water through a paper filter. Start around 198–202°F with a medium grind for whole beans. Let the cup cool enough to compare the ripe-fruit impression with caramel-like sweetness and the finish rather than judging only the hottest sip.

If the cup is thin and sharply tart, grind finer. If drawdown stalls or the finish becomes dry, move coarser. Once extraction is balanced, adjust the brew ratio for the preferred mug strength. Whole beans offer the most flexibility across cone drippers, batch brewers and immersion devices.

Use a scale for dose and water. Beverage yield, drawdown and 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 to make controlled adjustments. Prepared grounds are convenient when their particle size matches the brewer, but one fixed grind cannot suit every filter, press and espresso setup.

Who this coffee suits

Choose Peru Lima Cafe for a documented cooperative, Cajamarca origin, washed process and organic/Fair Trade certifications. Lima Cafe is the cooperative name, not a claim that the coffee was grown in the city of Lima. Start with the one-pound size before committing to larger quantities.

Roast development affects flavor and solubility. A light roast may need more extraction than a dark roast; a darker coffee may respond better to a coarser grind or slightly cooler water. Let the cup guide the recipe.

Freshness, storage and quantity planning

The available quantity includes a bulk option. Five pounds is about 2,268 grams, or roughly 113 twenty-gram brews before dialing waste. Estimate real weekly use before choosing the largest size; a smaller bag is better for establishing the recipe.

Divide bulk coffee into smaller airtight portions, keep one portion active, and store the rest sealed away from heat, moisture, sunlight and strong aromas. Ground coffee has more exposed surface area, so open only one portion at a time.

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 confirm size, grind and caffeine selection before ordering.

Review the exact variant in the cart. When the shipment arrives, keep the roaster label and record the selected format with the first brew. That makes later recipe changes and reordering more reliable.
