Peru Organic Jaén

 Peru’s diverse landscapes, from coastal deserts to the Andes and Amazon, offer ideal conditions for high-quality Arabica, especially at elevations above 1200 meters, where Peru’s signature sweetness and acidity shine. The coffee industry is extremely important to Peru’s economy. The coffee sector supports 855,000 jobs, with over half a million people depending on it for their livelihoods.

Cooperatives in Peru form to collectively improve the socioeconomic development of member producers. There is a strong regional unity among coffee farmers in Peru, and formal cooperatives help provide services in processing, transportation, grading, marketing, and exporting of green coffee beans.

Sourced by Valley Coffee Trading from the highlands of Jaén in northern Peru, this Grade 1 organic washed green coffee reflects the biodiversity and rich agricultural heritage of the region. Jaén’s mountainous terrain and extensive forests create a unique coffee origin, with altitudes ranging from 500 to 3,000 masl and microclimates that foster exceptional cup quality. The surrounding rivers—Marañón, Tabaconas, and Huabal—support fertile soils, while the region’s Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status underscores its reputation for producing some of the best Peruvian green coffee beans.
