ReAnimator — Peru Yauraq Yaku

Featured the week of March 16, 2026 — rated 9.7/10 by our tasting team.

Get ready to recalibrate your palate because this week we’re diving into a stunningly clean expression of Peruvian terroir with Yuraq Yaku. Sourced from Finca Los Angeles in the high-altitude Cusco region (sitting pretty at 1,700 masl), this is a 100% Bourbon varietal that reminds us why we fell in love with single-origin beans in the first place. Being a fully washed process, the clarity here is off the charts. We’re seeing a beautiful architectural acidity—think bright, crisp tartaric notes that structure the cup without being overbearing. It’s a "workhorse" in the sense that its solubility is dialed in perfectly, making it incredibly forgiving whether you’re pushing a high-extraction pour-over or dialing in a nuanced modern espresso.
