However, he has been working in coffee since 1984 as a day laborer, helping to pick and process cherries on other farms. The Puno region is very remote with extreme terrain, however, it is also home to some of Peru's best coffee. Although in the last two years, Puno has gained a lot of attention with the SL9 variety grown there, we're really pleased to share a more traditional variety that also represents the beautiful coffee this region has to offer. In the cup we're finding flavors of sweet lemon, dried mango, and black tea, with an underlying brown sugary base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Total Cost:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecoming soon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging, labor, and weight loss: \u003c\/strong\u003ecoming soon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen Price:\u003c\/strong\u003e $8.75\/lb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOB Price:  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFarm Gate Price: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImporter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Fox\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*We roast on Tuesdays and ship the following day; order deadline is 7:00 am Tuesday morning; local pick-up orders will be ready on Fridays after roasting\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RowanCoffee","offers":[{"title":"10oz","offer_id":52388877369624,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":52388877402392,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":52388877435160,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/4040\/2712\/files\/website-boxcopy-Recovered_3705f900-5ff5-4558-b270-b8523e970c77.jpg?v=1783717737"},{"product_id":"ethiopia-habtamu-fekadu-aga-goro","title":"Ethiopia | Habtamu Fekadu Aga Goro","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Guji, Ethiopia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Washed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ethiopian Landraces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElevation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1900-2100 masl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe Taste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nectarine, Watermelon, Guava, Honeysuckle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is our first Ethiopian release from the most recent harvest and the quality of the coffees this year is really exciting.
