Origin:

Peru is known for its diverse coffee-growing regions, with the Penachi district in the Piura region standing out for its unique shade-grown coffee. This coffee is cultivated by smallholder farmers under a canopy of native trees, preserving the natural biodiversity. The elevation, ranging from 1,100 to 1,500 meters, combined with volcanic soil, contributes to the vibrant and complex flavors characteristic of Peruvian coffee. The Ceacanor cooperative, consisting of around 300 farms, is dedicated to organic and sustainable farming practices, ensuring high-quality beans while supporting the local community.

Processing Method:

The coffee is fully washed and sun-dried on raised beds, a traditional process in the Piura region. This method highlights the coffee’s natural acidity and sweetness, providing a clean and consistent flavor profile. The Ceacanor cooperative prioritizes meticulous handling during processing, ensuring that only the ripest cherries are selected, resulting in a vibrant and well-balanced cup.

Flavor Profile:

Expect a lively cup with bright citrus acidity, complemented by notes of milk chocolate and hints of red fruit. The medium body offers a smooth and well-rounded experience, with a subtle sweetness that lingers. The coffee’s clean finish and mild floral undertones make it a refreshing choice for any time of day. This shade-grown Peruvian coffee delivers a delicate yet complex flavor profile that appeals to specialty coffee enthusiasts.

Brewing Recommendations:

For a balanced and flavorful extraction, use a Pour Over or Aeropress method, which highlights the coffee’s bright acidity and delicate chocolate notes. For a richer body, try a French Press, which will enhance the coffee’s smooth and full-bodied nature. Use a medium grind and maintain a water temperature of around 200°F for optimal extraction. A 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio will bring out the best characteristics of this Peruvian specialty.
