About
Kiss the Hippo's nod to a more traditional flavour: deep chocolate, low acidity and plenty of body, roasted a little darker than the rest of the range. This release comes entirely from La Prosperidad de Chirinos, a cooperative of more than 800 smallholders around San Ignacio in northern Peru.
