sehr erdig, kräftig, Haselnuss Noten, etwas rauchig im Abgang, leicht körnige Konsistenz. Nicht ganz weich von conchiert, spannend!

What the maker says about this bar

Low roast, Fermented 6 days in wooden boxes. The slight bitterness and tropical acidic touches are reminiscent of passion fruit with nuts. These were the notes that made me fall in love with this variety. Its colour and marbling are demonstrative of its cultivation between the snow-capped mountain ranges of Mountaln and the Titicaca; an idyllic spot around 1,300 -1,500 meters above sea level. This haven is where Raúl in his Chacra produces this Peruvian variety, Chuncho. It is still used today by indigenous Matsiguenga people as a commercial exchange currency.
