Peru

Roast:  Light-Medium

Tasting Notes:  Cane Sugar, Peach, Green Apple

This coffee comes from the Cooperativa Sol y Cafe, an accomplished coop established in 2008 spanning over 3000 hectares and including nearly 800 individual small-holder farmers. They won the 2021 Golden Cup quality competition in Peru and placed in the top 3 ever since. Needless to say, you're going to love these beans!

The lands for coffee production are used under an agroforestry system (SAF) which supports generating and conserving organic matter, managing shade and creating an environment that supports exceptional coffee production. In addition to coffee, many of the members also produce cacao and other fruits.

The members have expressed to us a desire to seek out long-term partnerships with good buyers and we are proud to be part of that list!

Cajamarca is a semi-dry, semi-cold, tropical highland of Peru with very fertile soil at high Andean mountain elevations. All of these factors contribute to the potential of specialty coffee production in the area, which is growing. Smallholder producers farm on 2-3 hectares of land, many of which practice organic farming. Most farmers in the area work independently, but the recent increase in cooperatives has been effective in increasing the quality of coffees produced in the area.

Give it a try, and experience the taste of the Andes in every cup!
