It's a mild cup with floral and soft fruit aromatics. The dry fragrance has a clean fruited note, caramel, as well as a gardenia flower hint. The wet aroma has delicate sweetness, lightly caramelized sugar, and peach. It is a brighter cup, more dynamic, than our Peru small-farm coffees from Canelon, with a lighter body and effervescent quality. The lighter roasts are better with this coffee, having marmalade jammy flavors, ripe orange, and jasmine hints. The body is fairly light, and it finishes with apple-like sweetness. Full City roasts score well too, but the coffee tails off as you approach 2nd crack, so it's best to avoid it. As it cools, the City roast has peach tea notes, fruit up front and then a tea-like dryness in the finish. This is best as a brewed coffee; I tried some SO espresso shots with it but found it a bit too bright and imbalanced for extraction.

Chris Schooley adds: Very sweet and solid at Full City, but this Peru is a beautiful light city roast coffee. Where a lot of Perus will be a little grainy/gritty at a lighter roast, Las Delicias has a clarified butter quality to the body with delicate lemon and orange notes with a refined sugar sweetness, very much like orange or lemon creme sandwich cookie. Simple, but very sweet with a slight floral finish.
