Guided by organic training.

Tucked in northern Peru, near the Ecuadorian border, San Ignacio rests along the Andes mountain range.

Our selected coffee was produced by small-scale local farmers from San Francisco, Los Llanos, San Andres, and El Sauce Village, located in the San Ignacio province.

These farmers receive technical assistance ensuring the production of high-quality crops.

The Producer

Additionally, their farms are evaluated to be part of the Organic program, as farmers have undergone training provided by the Asociación Agropecuaria de Productores del Norte.

This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, then floated and hand-sorted to remove any defects. The coffee cherries are de-pulped and subjected to 20 to 30 hours of fermentation in tanks.

Following this, the parchment is gently washed and placed in a shaded area to dry until the ideal moisture content is achieved.

  • Washed

    Ripe cherries are washed and then pulped to remove the majority of skin and fruit from the bean before its fermented.

    Fermentation is brief and helps to remove any remaining material from the pulping process as well as adding complexity to the coffee.

    The coffee is then washed and sun-dried, mechanically dried, or a combination of the two until the desired moisture level is reached.
