If you want to introduce someone to Peregrine, but don’t know if they might prefer a fruity light roasted Kenyan or a chocolatey decaf, a Peregrine gift certificate is the perfect choice.

Peregrine Coffee has two batches available of what is considered by many to be the finest coffee in the world — Esmeralda Special Geisha Lot Number 2, the coffee that commanded the highest price at any auction last year.

Snickers?  Lemonade?  You’ve got to be kidding!  The consensus here is milk chocolate with caramel and nuts mixed with a watery, citrus acidity.  Other layers include apples and a powdery cocoa experience.  We are thrilled to be able to offer this organically grown, artisanal  bean from one of our favorite importers.

Sometimes the first sip of a new coffee makes us giddy. The complexity in this bean is astounding. The tasting notes read like a Sauterne or a top notch Washington Riesling. Apricots and peaches abound. Smells like wild strawberries had a fling with the raspberry bush and that combo is what emerges on first sip. There is a lot of acidity but not in a sour or tart way — very crisp. The finish is extremely long and fruity. Extremely limited quantity.

Funky, fun and fresh! Hold on to your seat, this is about as bizarre as it gets for coffee!  This bean reveals leather, tobacco and some slight bittersweet tones. There are subtle spices like cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg that creep in the finish, especially as it cools. In addition to a distinct pungent aroma, the roasted beans smell like peanut butter.
