Tasting notes

Sourced from the Andean highlands surrounding Jaén, in the Cajamarca department of northern Peru, this coffee brings together tradition and terroirTerroirBorrowed from wine: the way a place — soil, altitude, climate, even neighboring crops — expresses itself in the cup, independent of variety and process.. The rich volcanic soils, ideal tropical rainfall and high altitude of the region create the perfect growing conditions. Peru’s coffee sector is overwhelmingly smallholderSmallholderA farmer growing coffee on a small family plot — often under two hectares. Most of the world's coffee is grown this way, typically pooled at cooperatives or washing stations.-based, with thousands of farms of just a few hectares each at elevations up to 2100 masl. Many producers draw on generations of experience, and this coffee reflects their shared knowledge paired with modern precision.
