about
Peru Rafael Mario - Spaceboy Coffee
Pure candy in the cup, this Peruvian coffee roasted by Spaceboy is a sweet treat for coffee lovers. Mario Chamaya Rafael is a meticulous coffee grower from Huabel in northern Peru. His 3 hectare farm sits at a lofty 1900 MASL, contributing to some spectacular flavour development and truly unique regional characteristics which are backed by Mario’s methodical processing methods. For this washed lot, cherries are taken straight from harvest to a resting tank, allowing full flavour development. The cherries then remain in the same tank for a 48 hour fermentation period that further enhances the coffee’s complexity. Washing and a 10 day drying period finish off the process, all overseen by Mario himself to ensure complete quality control.
The resulting coffee is something really special, with dried mango and candied citrus notes dominating a long and refreshing brew. This one is crying out for a batch brew that you can sip on all day.
All businesses are projects, but Spaceboy has been a PROJECT for founder and award winning roaster Finn Mclean. The roasting machine at Edinburgh based Spaceboy has been crowdfunded and carefully hand-built over the last two years, completely custom designed to give the team an unmatched level of roasting flexibility. Finn's experimental approach is reflected in his coffees, fun, funky and a bit wild - all things we can get behind. After sourcing the best quality green beans, the perfect roast-profile is tested to achieve the best representation of the coffee’s profile, which can be replicated with incredible accuracy. With no desire to open a coffee shop of their own, all the focus for Spaceboy is on roasting up the good stuff, supplying cafés and people like us with expertly roasted coffee beans.
