And those beans from Peru were named/ purchased what/where?
Sorry, Mr. Jizz. I am in a foreign hot country and I had a choice to buy bulk beans with a scoop from a number of different countries like Colombia, (which I usually buy) Brazil, Guatemala, and the like. I just took a shot on the Peru beans, not being happy with my consistent Colombian-grown coffee beans.
For me, the Peru coffee just seemed lighter and brighter. The taste was still deep and strong, but the effect on my energy level just felt nice. My exercise program today went smoother and I stayed pretty lively all day, despite the oppressive heat.
Many stores have coffees from all over the world. Coffee plantations impart unique characteristics to their coffee beans, depending on soil, altitude, climate, roasting process. Your brewing method also affects the coffee greatly.
My brewing method is undoubtedly the worst. I use an old electric Farberware percolator like my parents used. Old habits die slow. Percolators are known to make coffee bitter and more robust. I travel with it. It is the first thing I pack before traveling. A while back, I brewed coffee with it high in the Himalayan Mountains and I drank with my mountain driver in the lower regions when there was still electricity. I like the little powerful device unchanged very much from the 1930's
But, it keeps the coffee hot all day for multiple cups. I was using a simple French press for a while, and that is really nice for a purist but you must consume your coffee immediately, but no doubt a nice fresh cup of pure flavorful coffee.
I am sure that some of the guys here could offer much more by way of expertise and knowledge on beans, country of origin and brewing methods. I am just trying to get by on a fairly decent cup without constantly running out to coffee shops. And, recently COVID restrictions don't allow in-store dining, so I am better off making my own. It is also more economical and more efficient. By the time I buy a cup at at a Starbucks or the like and bring it home, it lost its peak of freshness.
