Smallholder coffee from the Andean foothills.
Peru, the underrated origin
Peru rarely gets the reverence of Kenya or Ethiopia, and that's the opportunity: Andean smallholders growing under native shade produce sweet, balanced, quietly complex coffees — and more certified organic arabica than almost anywhere. The country's best lots now stand comfortably beside far more famous neighbors.
Organic Peru Decaf comes from the Cerro Blanco Producers Association in La Victoria, San Martín — dozens of farming families who pooled resources in 2020 to reach the specialty market directly. It cups at 88.4 after decaffeination, which tells you how good the coffee underneath is.
What does Peruvian coffee taste like?
Sweet and balanced — caramel, milk chocolate, gentle fruit — with the softness that shade-grown, high-altitude smallholder lots tend to share.
Is your Peru coffee really organic?
Yes — grown by Cerro Blanco members using organic methods under native shade in San Martín, and certified. The cooperative's story is on the product page.
Why is your Peruvian coffee a decaf?
Because great decaf has to start as great coffee, and this lot qualified either way. At 88.4 points post-decaffeination, it outscores most caffeinated coffee on the market.
