Some things are better left until after dark. This coffee isn't one of them. Unless, of course, you're planning on staying up all night. Straight from the misty mountains of Cajamarca, Peru, comes a wicked little number courtesy of producer Alex Barrantes. Grown at 1,923 metres above sea level on his family farm, Querofinca, this washed Typica has all the makings of a dangerously good time. No bubbling cauldrons, suspicious spells or questionable ingredients required. Just exceptional coffee and a little Halloween mischief. The first sip is like sneaking a warm slice of apple strudel straight from the oven when nobody's looking. Buttery toffee follows, bringing all the sticky, caramelised goodness of a Halloween sweet haul, before a bright little twist of lime appears out of nowhere. A trick? A treat? We'll let you decide. Behind the mischief is a producer who takes his craft seriously. Inspired by his father's dedication to farming and the natural world, Alex has built Querofinca around quality, sustainability and a respect for tradition. The result is a beautifully clean, sweet and expressive coffee that's far more treat than trick. No tricks. All treats. And absolutely no sharing with the ghosts. Available for a limited time. Once it's gone, it's dead and buried.
