FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What does “Perla Negra” mean on a coffee?

A: It’s designed to be excellent on both; choose filter for sparkling fruit clarity and espresso for a richer, dessert-like fruit sweetness.
Q: What flavor profile should I expect?
A: Bright and fruity with tropical notes like honeydew, mandarin, and pineapple, plus a sweet, clean finish.
Q: How should I store the bag?
