The production of coffee in Peru is heavily influenced by small farms of less than a couple of hectares less. Farmers typically join together in cooperatives to share the cost of equipment and access to markets for their product. A growing number of farmers are choosing organic farming to improve the quality and avoid the use of pesticides. Cenfrocafe is a farm in the provinces Jaen and San Ignacio, in northwestern Peru, near the border with Ecuador. The coop is comprised of 2400 farmers who cultivate coffee on small plots ranging from 1300 to 2000 meters (4300 to 6500 feet) at the highest elevations in the region. Farmers take extra care to ensure the harvest is picked just at the right time to maximize the value of the beans. Our Peru organic coffee has been thoroughly cleaned and dried in the sun to give a distinctive deep and rich taste. The high altitude of the farms in this region produces a complex coffee with a medium body, mild acidity and an elegant finish. Women in Peru grow this coffee as part of a broader movement known as Cafe Femenino, which is changing the role of women in coffee communities that are rural. The coffee is grown and processed by women, providing them with the chance to use the additional money generated by the sale of their product to improve their own and their family's well-being. A portion of each dollar spent on coffee is also donated to the women who cultivate it. This enables them to expand their businesses, provide healthcare and education to their children, and provide for their families. This is truly an amazing coffee, which has been cultivated since the year 1700 using methods that have been passed through word of mouth for generations. Peru Arabica Peru is a country that produces lots of premium coffee. The thin air and high altitudes of Peru make it a perfect location to cultivate coffee. The country is the ninth-largest producer of coffee in the world, with an average of 2%. It is also a top producer of organic and Fair Trade Coffee. The Spanish introduced the Ethiopian coffee to Peru after the 16th Century. The country has been a major player in the international coffee industry since. It is among the five largest producers of Arabica. The country is home to small farming families that have largely joined together to form cooperatives. This has enabled them to access fair trade prices and market their beans directly. Small farms are also encouraged to use eco-friendly methods to reduce the environmental impact on their coffee production. Volcafe's cluster programme helped stabilize the supply chains for roasters, while providing detailed tracability from field to FOB contract. This gives roasters the ability to make informed choices and track their entire purchase history. This strategy has been essential to the success of Volcafe’s collaboration with Peruvian farmers. In the past, coffee was promoted as a replacement for coca plants by a lot of farmers. The government is always looking for ways to replace illegal crops with coffee, which can increase profits for the coffee industry. While the change is positive, it can be an issue for the local population, too. It is therefore crucial to provide sufficient financial support to farmers to maintain their livelihoods, and to ensure that the well-being and health of their families aren't affected. It is also crucial to encourage the development of innovative products that can boost productivity and improve the quality of coffee. Fair trade Peru HB grade 1 is a premium coffee that is grown in Cajamarca, a northern region. This medium-roasted, single-origin coffee is a prime example of the distinctive flavor characteristic of this region. It has a citrus aroma, with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. It also has a medium body, with a smooth texture. Colombian The emerald country of Colombia is home to stunning forests, huge mountains, and a superb coffee. The country produces more washed Arabica beans than other country in the world. It also has the ability to produce a variety of exquisite, sought-after and distinctive coffees. Colombian coffees have a mellow, yet full-bodied flavor and pleasant acidic flavor. They are also renowned for their sweetness and pleasantly acidic taste. Traditionally, Colombian coffee has been grown at elevations of between 1,200 – 2,200 meters above sea level. This is where the top quality Colombian beans are harvested and where the coffee ripens to its best. Generally speaking, the best quality Colombian coffees are referred to as Supremo. This refers to the size of the coffee (screen sizes 17 and 18). After harvesting, the cherries need to be carefully selected by hand to ensure only healthy and fully ripe beans are allowed to continue the process. At this point the ripe fruit is separated from the beans, which are dried and washed in the sun. The washed beans are classified and sorted by quality control teams in accordance with their size, colour and density, making sure that only the highest-quality, consistent coffee makes it onto supermarket shelves across the world. Farmers and workers are paid an Fairtrade premium. This is a lump sum added to the purchase price. They can then invest in their own business or community projects. Fair Trade helps small-scale farmers form small producer groups and cooperatives to gain access to larger markets. This money is reinvested directly into the communities where coffee is grown. It helps to create a more sustainable development model and also helps to protect the environment. It also ensures that working conditions are safe, working hours are controlled, and there is freedom of association. There is also zero tolerance for child labour and slavery. The money that is paid to farmers helps them protect their families and invest in their futures. It allows them to preserve their traditional ways of life, and produce coffee which is delicious and authentic. Indonesian With its equatorial climate as well as soaring mountains, Indonesia is one of the world's biggest coffee producers. The varying conditions for growing and traditional wet hulling techniques create distinct flavour notes that make Indonesian beans highly sought-after for blends and single origins alike. These robust, rich coffees have a long spicy finish and a silky texture. They are a great match for darker roasts. The women led Ketiara co-op of the Gayo Highlands in Sumatra is renowned for its powerful earthy body, with a flavorful undertone of cocoa and cedar. The coffee is certified organic and fair trade, and is a sustainable option for the farmers and their communities. The Ketiara co-op also contributes to the conservation of the area around Leuser National Park by using shade-grown farming as a way to protect the ecosystem. In a region that's famous for its volcanic soil it's no surprise that the fertile soil is perfect for growing coffee. This rich natural resource however, is being threatened by foreign coffee producers who have taken over the industry. Many local farmers have been forced to abandon their farms because they are not able to compete with the prices of these big corporations. The absence of direct trade opportunities means that for every $3 cup of coffee, only $0.15 goes to the farmer on average. This system must be changed, and that's why fair trade is important. By establishing direct trade relationships farmers can increase their income security and prevent radical changes in market demand from one season to the next. Our natural organic Sulawesi fair trade beans are handpicked from farmers who follow the tenets of traditional Hindu farming system known as “Sabuk Abian.” The farms are located in the Kintamani highland region between the Batukaru and Agung volcanoes. They supply the fields with fresh volcanic ash that keeps the soil fertile. This organic and Fair Trade coffee is rich, creamy and spicy with a long finish. This is a dark roast that is delicious on its own or as a component of an incredibly rich blend.
