The Fascinating World of Peruvian Coffee

When it comes to Peru, there are endless interesting stories: ancient and mysterious Indian legends, the city in the sky (Machu Picchu), the enigmatic Nazca Lines, Andean mountain peaks that pierce the sky, South America's largest freshwater lake - Lake Titicaca (at 3,812 meters, almost as high as Jade Mountain)... Peru is such a fascinating country, and in the specialty coffee world, Peru is also one of the most interesting presences. When it comes to Peruvian coffee, the most common association is certified organic coffee.

Peru's organic coffee, in addition to its inherent cultural and natural conditions, is also importantly supported by government policies, making it arguably the most important producing region for the organic coffee market. However, perhaps due to the deeply ingrained stereotype of organic coffee, the development of Peru's specialty coffee is often overlooked. In fact, Peru possesses what could be called crazy specialty coffee production conditions - no joke, truly crazy. Blessed by the Andes Mountains, Peru's altitude and geographical diversity are truly unique.

Flying to the ancient capital of Cusco, you can enjoy the spectacular view of Andean mountain peaks emerging above the clouds from the plane, but in the capital Lima, just an hour's flight away, is unequivocally a coastal city.

In Peru, cultivation altitudes of 1,800 or even 2,000 meters are not uncommon. Coffee-producing families, primarily consisting of Indian tribes who coexist peacefully with nature, use the most natural cultivation methods and preserve many old varieties of trees.
