The latest crop of great decaf from the German decaf processor, KVW. This crop is very similar to last year’s, with loads of cholocate, but with more fruity notes, sweetness and a surprising dried peach tone on the finish. Excellent cup of coffee.

At Peregrine Coffee, we strive to know exactly where each bean is from – which region, which estate, and when possible, which farmer. We focus on single origin beans –not blends — in order to highlight the great variety of coffee flavors available across the globe, varieties which are naturally affected by soil, climate, and weather, and therefore as distinct from one another as Zinfandel and Chardonnay.
Each cup of coffee offers something different. Some coffees are bright, tangy brews, lightly roasted to enhance the buoyancy of the flavor. Some are mellow, full of chocolate, tobacco, or butterscotch. These are not flavored coffees, but coffees full of flavor, perfectly roasted to bring out the distinctive characteristics of each bean.
A cup of truly fresh, single origin coffee does not have a consistent taste. It might start out hot with elements of toffee and cardamom, cool down to hints of tangy apricot, and taste like chocolate when it’s cold. Experiencing the progression of flavors in a single cup is part of the excitement of drinking Peregrine Coffee.

Bespoke coffee means single origin or single estate coffee personally selected for our clients to match their palate and custom roasted for their sole use, and is the process through which we guide our customers to their ideal cup. We work only with single origin or single estate coffee rather than blends. We focus on the beans that are the best representation of the countries, regions and, in the case of single estate beans, farms and farmers, and are, in many ways, not unlike fine wines. Peregrine Coffee then acts as Coffee Sommeliers, matching our client’s flavors preferences to the flavor profiles of the beans. We purchase the recommended green beans for our clients from wholesalers or directly from small farms around the world, store them at our roast shop, roast in tiny batches for their use alone, hand-bag and label, and ship within hours of roasting to ensure all the nuances of flavor are present in a truly fresh cup of coffee.

This outstanding organic coffee starts with a sweet, fruity, floral smell combined with some dustiness. The cup is balanced with a slight tilt toward the acidic, which fades fast. The flavors are big with loads of dark, dark chocolate and bright cherries mixed with a fruit flavor that comes from the tropics – perhaps mango. There are also subtle, delicate floral tones that sneak in. The mouth feel is thick and viscous and provides a nice juiciness. The finish is super clean with slight fruits, dark chocolate, and slight caramel and dulce-de-leche notes. A superb Indonesian.

This is big bean coffee, both in terms of looks and flavors! It starts with a sweet, dark-bitter smell with really pronounced organic-earthy aromas. Some unusual notes include scalloped potatoes and sweet onions with a hint of freshly mulched flower bed. The mouthfeel stands out as very thick, deep, and rich and continues through with big body. The flavors include some slight fruit notes such as black cherry and fig – think about the sweet earthiness ones gets from dried fruit. There are clear wood tones like cedar wood mixed with nuts, and dark, dark baker’s chocolate. This cup is well balanced and finishes smoky-peppery and dry, and has practically no acidity. A really superb coffee.
