Black Oak — Peru Yamon

Featured the week of February 2, 2026 — rated 9.8/10 by our tasting team.

I am absolutely vibrating with excitement to get this week’s selection into your hands. We’re diving deep into the Cajamarca region of Peru with Yamón Natural, and honestly, it’s a masterclass in processing. This isn't your typical "earthy" Peru; because it’s a natural process, we’re seeing those high-altitude Bourbon and Caturra densities shine through with a wild, fruit-forward complexity. At an elevation that pushes the limits of the Andean peaks, the slow cherry maturation has gifted us a cup with a sparkling, malic acidity reminiscent of a crisp Pink Lady apple. The mouthfeel is where it gets really sexy—expect a syrupy, coating body that transitions from bright raspberry vibrance into a deep, decadent finish of cacao nibs and molten caramel.
