Tasting notes:
Variety: Trinitario & Criollo, mixed with Local natives
Originating from the department of Junín's mid-southern jungle, and harvested at an elevation of 600-900 meters, this delicate blend of Local Native, Criollo, and Trinitario beans boasts a complex herbal flavor profile with raisin and grapefruit notes.
This region has historically produced a significant amount of coca leaf, a crop with a variety of medicinal uses that is closely associated with the Indigenous way of life and, regrettably, serves as the primary ingredient in cocaine. The Peruvian government has been encouraging the growth of alternative crops like coffee and cacao alongside other international governments to break free from the harsh farming conditions and to sabotage the illegal cocaine supply chain.
The people in this region have been able to diversify their crops, adopt more environmentally sustainable farming practices, and produce more consistent income thanks to the over 15 years of assistance from this international collaboration in networking, infrastructure, management, and security for farmers.
