Origin and Plantation
At altitudes of up to 1,820 m, roughly 60 families from a village in the Chanchamayo region cultivate rich coffee bushes. This region is one of the best coffee-cultivating areas in Peru. Due to the high altitude, the coffee cherries ripen more slowly, but also develop more flavours and a natural sweetness. Through “direct trade”, fair prices are achieved for the local farmers, which not only exceed the world market prices but also the “fair trade” prices. Furthermore, social projects for the environment, health and education are promoted locally.

Character and Taste
Aromas of chocolate and caramelized nuts are combined with a hint of almond and a slightly fruity note. A balanced body, long-lasting taste and a silky finish have already helped this coffee to achieve scores of 84 and higher in various cuppings.

Particularities
Since 2014, Peru is among the top 20 coffee-producing countries of the world. Arabica beans constitute the dominant portion of Peru’s export goods, ranking Peru at 5th place on the world market. The most famous coffee cultivation areas on the eastern slopes of the Andes are Chanchamayo, Amazon, the San Martin regions and the southern highland. St Ignacio, located close to the border to Ecuador, forms the central area of coffee plantations in the north. Approximately 75 % of the coffee cultivation areas lie at altitudes of 1,000 to 1,800 m above sea level.
