This cup has a very attractive, clean-fruited character from start to finish. In the dry fragrance, there is a mild cherry-vanilla and hint of coffee flower scent, along with hazelnut roast tones. Adding the hot water to brew, wet aromatics reveal caramel and cane sugar with a touch of peach and nut. In the cup the fruit has ample stone fruit characteristics (peach and apricot), malic sweetness, nutty roast tones and medium body. It’s a mild cup overall, lightly fruited, very refined overall. The aftertaste is slightly drying, but sweet and pleasant.

Please join us on this Saturday, 12/12, from 6-9p at the fabulous Green Aisle Grocery in South Philly for a free coffee tasting!

Bring a friend!  Tell a neighbor!

For clients in the Philadelphia area, Peregrine Coffee begins the process with in-person tastings at our roast shop or in a customer’s home.  We are available to travel to conduct tastings farther afield, but for more distant clients we usually begin the process with an email survey about flavor preferences and coffee habits.  We follow that with a conversation to focus in on the client’s tastes, and then we go to market, scouring the world for beans that we think will please our customer’s palate. We send fresh-roasted samples for them to try, then, on approval, import anything from five pounds to an entire year’s worth of green beans to be stored at our shop for the client’s use, roasted to order, hand-labeled, and delivered on demand.

We specialize in roasting our beans to just the point where the true flavors that the farmer intended come through, before the flavor of the roasting process itself overpowers the subtleties of the bean.  It is a process that combines art and science to balance the profile of the bean with the profile of the roast to maximize the terrior.

At Peregrine Coffee, we want to roast the perfect coffee or espresso for you.  For your taste, for your lifestyle, in the amounts that meet your needs – for your morning cup, or for the special events in your life. Our bespoke service is at the heart of our business.  From an in-depth consultation to scouring the world to find a year’s worth of your ideal bean, Peregrine Coffee can ensure that the coffee you drink is the coffee you want — sourced, roasted, and delivered as you desire.

You can be notified when an exceptional bean comes to the world market, and have the opportunity to purchase shares of a bag, enough for several months.  Peregrine will then store the green beans for you and roast and deliver them as needed on demand.

You can give a one-of-a-kind gift – a year’s worth of coffee chosen by you in consultation with Peregrine, to a friend or relative who is passionate about coffee.  Or perhaps a Peregrine gift certificate that will open the door for a colleague who wants to know coffee as well as he knows wine.

You can host a coffee-tasting party for 12 or 200, with Peregrine coffees specially roasted to reflect the wide range of coffee flavors available on the world market.  Have Peregrine’s roaster be your guide in person, or in consultation before your event.

You can serve exceptional coffee chosen just for a wedding reception, special birthday, or business launch – freshly roasted and delivered just for your event.

Even our packaging – extravagant by some standards – is chosen to ensure you enjoy the best possible drinking experience.   We use thick-walled stand-up plastic bags that allow you to scoop beans easily.  Peregrine Coffee’s bags have one-way degassing valves that allow the escape of oxygen that can cause staleness.  And because we want you to drink our coffee within a week of roasting, we date every bag, and mail our beans to you in the smallest size that meets your needs.
