Peru Amazonas

Description

Our new coffee from Peru is sourced from producers associated with the Central de Cafetaleros del Nor Oriente (CECANOR) located in communities of Province Utcubamba, Region Amazonas, Peru.

From our awesome importer:

“Peru’s rich coffee culture is deeply rooted in cooperative structures, particularly to support coffee cultivated of small farms. A prime illustration is Central de Cafetaleros del Nor Oriente (CECANOR), with dedicated coffee producers located in more than 70 communities across Northern Peru. These producers follow organic farm management practices attuned to their cultural connection with the land. They typically cultivate coffee on just a few acres of land intercropped with shade trees, bananas, corn, and beans.

During the harvest, each producer practices selective picking with focus on picking only fully ripened cherries, which are then processed with the farm’s micro-mill. At the mill, the cherries are washed and floated to remove damaged and less dense coffee. The selected cherries are then depulped, fermented, washed and gently dried, and stored until it is time to prepare the coffee for export.

CECANOR invests in critical infratructure encompassing road enhancements and the establishment of local warehouses. CECANOR also provides comprehensive technical support to farmers. This encompasses guidance starting with seed selection and extends to valuable assistance in navigating the certification process. CECANOR partners with an export company called PROASSA, which meticulously prepares coffee for export. This coordinated effort ensures traceability and maintains quality control during the post-harvest phase.”

Lovely aroma with hints of vanilla, chocolate, and pastry. Easy-drinking cup with nuances of milk and semi-sweet chocolate, vanilla, and wafer cookie with soft hints of gala apple, plum, and orange. Smooth, medium body. Certified Organic.
