Coffee production in Peru dates back to the 18th century. Despite over 300 years of history, there has been little industrialization, and the country’s beans are still mainly grown by thousands of small farmers around this mountainous nation. Until recently, coffee trade was conducted in small town squares, where coffee buyers had much leverage than growers. Over the past decade, a significant portion of Peru’s coffee farmers have joined cooperatives, which has led to better production and processing practices, higher coffee quality, and more equitable prices.
These Fair Trade, organic beans were grown by Arsenio Duarez Perez at his finca, La Piedra Grande. Arsenio washed the pulp and mucilage off before drying the beans, a process which yields a clean cup. The coffee exhibits a medium body, balanced sweetness, and muted acidity.
Featuring coffees from the Western hemisphere (mostly Central, South America, and the Caribbean). These coffees generally exhibit notes of chocolate and caramel.
