Peru Chanchamayo, Junin Organic

Coffee is one of Peru's highest-yielding crops. The country also holds the largest share of the organic and fair trade coffee market and ranks among the world's biggest coffee-exporting nations. Peru's remarkably diverse regions and climates give rise to many different types of coffee. This organic washed coffee comes from the town of Chanchamayo in the Junin region, roughly 350 kilometers north of the capital Lima, an area where mountain and jungle landscapes blend together.

Most Peruvian farmers work small plots of land, typically around 2 hectares each. Like this organic lot, the majority of Peruvian coffee beans are processed and sold through cooperatives. Although quality and flavor vary widely, Peruvian coffee is generally full-bodied and well balanced, which makes it an excellent base component for blends.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

If you enjoy the clean, balanced character of washed coffee, FrontStreet Coffee's washed Yirgacheffe Gottingen Cooperative is well worth trying. Washed processing lets this Ethiopian lot show its pure jasmine floral notes and bright citrus acidity, and after a medium-light roast it also reveals delicate green tea and honey tones.

Like the Peruvian beans above, it suits just about any brewing method, whether pour-over, cold brew, or espresso.
