Peru

These beans are a blend of coffees from 12 different producers in the Jaen and San Ignacio provinces of Cajamarca in Northern Peru. The blend is named after a town that sits between the two provinces. Day lots from producers all over Cajamarca were purposefully blended together based on cup profile that is typical of the region, full of dried fruits, chocolate and a pronounced citric acidity. Producers in Northern Peru have their own hand pulping machine and fermentation tank where they process the coffee before drying it on their patio or raised beds in their farms. Once dry, the coffee is analysed, cupped and graded and producers paid in full the same day.
