Peruvian coffee beans have long been used as one of the blending beans for stabilizing the richness in coffee blends, maintaining a relatively low profile in the coffee world. However, as more people have come to appreciate the mellow taste of Peruvian coffee, Peruvian coffee beans have rapidly emerged in the international market in recent years, winning numerous international coffee awards and becoming a rising star in the coffee industry.

Diverse Land Producing Quality Coffee

Peru is located in western South America with a coastline of 2,254 kilometers, featuring a dry and mild climate suitable for coffee cultivation. It also possesses other natural environments including the world's longest Andes Mountains, tropical rainforests, uniquely hilly terrain, and dry deserts. This vast and diverse land allows Peru to produce large quantities of coffee beans with different flavor profiles. Therefore, Peru has now become the third-largest coffee producer and exporter in the Latin region, after Brazil and Colombia. In terms of coffee export value, Peru ranked 12th in the world in 2016.

Over 90% of Peruvian coffee beans are grown in the northern valleys, east of the capital Lima, and forest areas on the slopes of the Andes Mountains. However, the coffee beans produced in the central Chanchamayo and southern Cusco regions are the most famous. The characteristics of Peruvian coffee lie in its rich acidity and smooth, full body. Premium Peruvian coffee has intense aroma, smooth texture, distinct flavor layers, rich sweetness, and most notably, a very gentle acidity that easily captures people's affection.

The organic coffee beans produced in northern Peru also have distinctive characteristics. These coffee beans are grown under shade without the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Because shade can slow down the maturation of coffee trees and help coffee beans fully develop, although the yield is not high, their quality can reach the level of premium coffee, making them highly favored by consumers in European and American countries.

Strong Government Promotion to Increase Coffee Production

Compared to other coffee-growing countries, Peru's annual coffee production is relatively small, so there's a special focus on cultivating specialty coffee. Local estates not only maintain rigorous processes in cultivation and processing but have also developed mature scale and systems. Precisely because of strict quality control, Peruvian coffee achieves very high international ratings. Besides repeatedly winning awards in coffee competitions and cupping competitions in Europe and America, the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) once selected Peruvian El Tunki coffee as one of the "World's Best Specialty Coffees."

In addition, to increase coffee production, the Peruvian government has adopted planned cultivation. Juan Escobar Guarda, Vice Minister of Peru's Ministry of Agriculture, also emphasized that coffee is one of the most widely cultivated crops in Peru and also the most important agricultural export product. In 2008, Peru's Ministry of Agriculture passed legislation designating August 28th as Peru's "Coffee Day" to promote the cultivation and consumption of Peruvian coffee. In recent years, Peru has developed friendly relations with China. The Chinese government has promised to provide material support to Peru to enhance the disaster resistance and prosperity capacity of Peru's coffee bean cultivation industry, and hopes to bring Peruvian coffee to China, opening up huge business opportunities for Peruvian coffee.
