This Peru Organic coffee has a pleasant sweetness and a smooth acidity. It is a bit orange and cocoa with a cinnamon finish. This fair trade certified coffee has been made from a responsible and environmentally conscious producer.
In Peru coffee is produced primarily by small farms with only a few hectares or less. Farmers typically form cooperatives to share costs of equipment and gain access to markets. A growing number of farmers are choosing to grow organically to improve the quality and avoid the use of pesticides.
Cenfrocafe is a farm in the provinces of Jaen and San Ignacio, in northwestern Peru close to the border of Ecuador. The coop consists of 2400 coop member farmers who grow their coffee on small plots ranging from 1300 and 2000 meters, 4300-6500 feet, at the highest elevations of the region. Farmers take very careful care to ensure that the harvest is picked just at the right time, so as to maximize the value of the beans.

The women of Peru who cultivate this coffee are part of a movement called Cafe Femenino that is changing the role of women in rural coffee communities. The coffee is grown and processed by women, giving them the opportunity to utilize the additional funds generated from the sale of their product to enhance their own and their families' well-being. A portion of each dollar spent on coffee is also given to the women who grew it. This allows them to expand their business, offer education and healthcare to their children, and provide for their families. This is an exceptional coffee that was cultivated by using methods passed through generations.
Peru Arabica
Peru is home to a bounty of high-quality coffee. Its thin air and high altitudes make it an ideal environment for producing the crop. The country is the ninth-largest producer of coffee in the world with a share of 2%. It is also a leading producer of organic and Fair Trade Coffee.
The Spanish introduced the Ethiopian coffee to Peru after the 16th Century. Peru has been a major player in the coffee trade ever since. It is now among the top five producers of Arabica.
Small farming families have formed cooperatives throughout the country. They can now get fair trade prices and also sell their coffee directly. Small farms are also encouraged to employ ecological methods that help reduce the environmental impact of their coffee production.
Volcafe's cluster program has helped to stabilize supply chains for roasters, while providing detailed tracability from field to FOB contract. This enables roasters to view the complete picture of their purchases and make informed choices every day. This method has been crucial to the success of Volcafe's work with Peruvian farmers.
In the past, many farmers have been encouraged to grow coffee as a substitute for coca plants. The government is constantly searching for ways to replace illegal crops with coffee, which can increase profits for the coffee industry. The move is positive but can also be a challenge for the local population.
It is therefore important to provide enough financial aid to farmers to ensure their livelihoods and to ensure that the well-being and wellbeing of their families are not at risk. Additionally it is crucial to encourage the development of new products that boost productivity and improve the quality of coffee.

The finest quality Colombian beans are typically referred to as Supremo. This refers to the size of the beans (screen sizes 17 and 18).
After the harvesting process, the coffee cherries must be carefully picked by hand to ensure only healthy and fully ripe coffee beans are allowed to continue the process. The fruit that is ripe, separated from the beans at this stage, is then washed in the sun and dried. The washed coffee beans are then graded and sorted by quality control teams in accordance with size as well as colour and density. This assures that only consistent high-quality, high-quality coffee is able to make it onto the shelves of all supermarkets worldwide.
Farmers and workers also receive an Fairtrade Premium which is an additional amount of money added on top of the purchase price. They can then invest it in their own community or business projects. Fair Trade helps small-scale farmers organize themselves into small producer groups and cooperatives to gain access to larger markets.
This premium is invested in the communities that cultivate coffee. It aids in creating an environmentally sustainable development model and helps protect the environment.

This abundant natural resource, however, is being threatened by foreign coffee producers who have taken over the business. Many local farmers aren't able to compete with the costs of these large corporations and have been pushed to leave their farms.
The absence of direct trade opportunities means that for each $3 cup of coffee, only $0.15 goes to the farmer on average. Fair trade is essential because the system has to be changed. Through direct trade relationships, farmers can create income security that will eliminate the drastic fluctuations in demand from season to season.
