Classic coffee aroma, with dark chocolate, toasted walnut, and toffee notes.
For the second year in a row, we’ve been wowed by the Fair Trade certified beans from this coop in the foothills of the Andes, owned and operated entirely by women. The coffees they grow, harvest and process are spectacularly drinkable—simple and clear without being boring or dull. The perfect everyday cup.

Cupping Coffee Is at the Center of Our Craft
Coffee is the seed of a tropical evergreen shrub. Growers around the world harvest and process a wide range of coffee varietals grown under widely different conditions. The genetics of the plant and the "origin terroir” greatly contribute to the character of the coffee you wind up tasting in the cup. At the Brooklyn Roasting Company we search out the world’s finest coffees and expertly roast them to tease out their many colorful characters. Our coffee team is constantly evaluating the coffees we source (or consider sourcing). At the outset, we measure the moisture content of incoming “green” and then sample roast these lots to determine the optimal profile for each coffee on a larger, commercial scale. We cup each sample roast on rotating stone tables equipped with circulating hot water baths, and a thick, tempered glass surface that floats on zany 1960’s superballs and hula hoops. This playful, colorful backdrop to cupping and assessing coffee–the core of our craft– is a constant reminder to appreciate and unlock the flavors and aromas that characterize the extraordinary beans we buy. Taken together with our “Color of Coffee” tasting approach, this crucial quality control step typifies our “serious but not snobby” approach.

I've been ordering exclusively from Brooklyn Roasting Company for a while now, and their Peru coffee has become my absolute daily staple. I always buy the 5lb bag, which lasts me about two months — and honestly, I never get tired of it.
What I love most is how perfectly balanced it is. The flavor is smooth with a hint of nuttiness and a subtle chocolate undertone, and the aroma is just right — not too strong, not too faint. It's the kind of coffee that's comforting every single morning without ever feeling overwhelming.
If you're looking for a reliable, everyday coffee that delivers consistent quality, this is it. Highly recommend!
Store owner replied:
A 5lb bag every two months means the Peru is officially part of your routine, and we love that. Smooth, nutty and balanced is exactly what we aim for with it. Thanks for such a thoughtful review, Katie!

Four thumbs up !!!
Store owner replied:
Good tip on brewing it a little stronger! Thanks, Thor. Glad the Peru has become your everyday cup.
We've been ordering Brooklyn Roasting beans to Colorado for well over a decade. We like roasts from all over be it Peru to Ethiopia to Sumatra... They are all good and I really miss these coffees when on the road away from home. Keep the coming!
Store owner replied:
Over a decade of shipping Brooklyn to Colorado, that means so much to us. Thank you for exploring the whole lineup with us all these years. We'll keep them coming!
My favorite universal blend by Brooklyn Roasting Co. It can be used for a black cup of coffee or a delicious cappuccino. I love the nutty robust flavor so much that I have have it shipped to me over and over again to my homes in FL and WI.
Store owner replied:
Black or in a cappuccino, the Peru really does it all. Thanks for bringing it along to both Florida and Wisconsin, Ann!
Perfect medium roast with notes of chocolate and caramel. We brew it every day in french press, pour over and even the espresso machine- delicious and full of character no matter how you do it!
Store owner replied:
French press, pour over and espresso, you've really put the Peru through its paces, Leslie! Chocolate and caramel is exactly what we love about it. Thank you!
My family who live in Brooklyn love this coffee so much it's now an annual Christmas gift. This year they said "we all agreed this is our favorite gift you give us!" Consistently fabulous!
Store owner replied:
Favorite gift of the year is a title we'll happily take! Thanks for making us part of your family's Christmas tradition, Wendy.
These are some of the freshest coffee beans I have ever tasted. You can really taste the love with all your senses in the production process. They are truly skilled with how to make an extraordinary cup of coffee. And I love the tins!
Store owner replied:
Never an unsatisfying cup is exactly the standard we hold ourselves to. Thanks for making the Peru your daily wake-up, Michael!
My favorite choice from many from Brooklyn roasting company. This blend has great aromas of cashews, milk chocolate cookies and a slightly sweet finish. Makes great Cortados and Flat Whites!
