FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Peruvian Coffee

Although Peru may not have a prominent history or reputation, as a rising star in the coffee world, its unique mellow aroma carries the imprint of the Andes Mountains and the fragrance of the earth, making countless travelers who originally had no interest in this suddenly brighten up and exclaim "Truly aromatic!"

The secret lies in the highland climate brought by the altitude of the Andes Mountains, as well as suitable temperatures, air, light, and fertile soil. These unique geographical advantages extend the growth period of coffee beans, providing perfect conditions for cultivating delicious and aromatic Arabica coffee beans.

Arabica Coffee

Compared to Robusta coffee beans that can grow in low-altitude areas, Arabica coffee beans have more stringent cultivation requirements, with better quality at high altitudes above 1,500 meters. In contrast, Arabica coffee beans have more balanced flavor, mouthfeel, and aroma, mainly used for single-origin or specialty coffee.

At the end of the 20th century, due to lack of infrastructure and processing methods, Peruvian coffee cultivation once fell into difficulties. Fortunately, in the early 21st century, with government help, farmers discovered the immeasurable potential of this land, redeveloped higher-quality coffee, and thus brought Peruvian coffee to the world stage.

Today, Peruvian coffee has become a world-class high-quality coffee bean and one of the best coffees on the market today. It offers a gentle acidity, mellow taste, distinct layers, rich sweetness, and outstanding flavor that has allowed Peruvian coffee to frequently win international coffee gold awards in recent years.

Due to the adoption of small-scale farming models, farmers cannot obtain nor do they use chemical fertilizers and pesticides. They insist on using natural fertilizers, hand-picking and selecting coffee beans. Coupled with mineral-rich organic soil, Peruvian coffee's organic quality has gained global recognition, making it now the world's second-largest organic coffee producer.

It is worth mentioning that, with a sense of reverence for nature, Peruvian farmers deeply understand the importance of sustainable cultivation. They use shade-grown methods to return coffee to its natural ecosystem, while also allowing insects and birds to survive and inhabit here, achieving both improved coffee quality and protection of flora and fauna ecology.

Shade-Grown Cultivation

Coffee is a fragile organic crop. Planting trees alongside coffee and protecting them under shade not only protects coffee in cold weather but also cools abnormally warm microclimates. At the same time, trees can help maintain soil moisture, filter nitrogen, and increase biodiversity.
