What Makes Peruvian Coffee Special? What Are the Flavor Characteristics of Peruvian Coffee Beans?

Peru: A Rising Star in the Specialty Coffee World

In the coffee industry, Peru's cultivation history is actually not very long, but Peru has become a major producer of specialty coffee. Only 10% of Arabica coffee beans in the world can be classified as specialty coffee.

Unique Natural Advantages

Peru enjoys exceptional natural conditions: high altitude, plateau climate, suitable temperature, air, light, and fertile soil. These factors extend the growth period of coffee beans, making Arabica coffee taste aromatic and pleasant.

Cultivation Methods

Coffee beans on the market are generally divided into two types: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica coffee beans are more demanding in cultivation and must be grown at altitudes above 1,500 meters. Arabica coffee is a relatively fragile organic crop that needs shade to slow down growth, reduce irrigation water, and prevent soil erosion. Therefore, in Peru, farmers use shade-grown methods to let coffee return to natural ecology while providing habitat for insects and birds.

ALTOMAYO Coffee Farm

All coffee cultivation in Peru uses mineral-rich organic soil and small farm models, insisting on natural fertilizers. Because it's a plateau region, large mechanical equipment cannot be used at all. Therefore, all Peruvian coffee is hand-picked and selected. This craftsmanship has made Peruvian coffee quality increasingly outstanding. Currently, Peru is the world's second-largest organic coffee producer.

Environmental Commitment

In Peru, every farmer knows their environmental advantages, and every farmer persists in protecting rainforests and animal ecology.

Exceptional Quality

It is precisely because of strict and selective cultivation and manual picking that Peruvian coffee becomes more unique and excellent. Peruvian coffee has gentle acidity, rich flavor, and distinct layers, making it essential for a good cup of coffee. Therefore, Peruvian coffee has frequently won international coffee awards in recent years and is more commonly used in specialty coffee.
