Cultivation, processing

Coffee was first brought to Peru in the 18th century, exports began about a hundred years later. A big problem with growing high-quality coffee in Peru is infrastructure. This means that the farmer has to transport the harvested coffee for a long time before processing. That is why many small producers in the country are members of the cooperative.

Peru HB coffee is grown in shady places at high altitudes to produce a denser and more complex tasting bean thanks to the slow ripening process. In addition, growers have made great efforts to produce high-quality grains using only sustainable agricultural practices. The HB (hard bean) symbol indicates that the coffee has been grown at an altitude of approximately 1,200 meters, making the beans harder and denser than beans of the same quality.

The wet coffee processing method requires transporting the harvested cherries to the mill and thus using water, which is difficult to obtain in some coffee growing areas. In the first stage, the Peru HB coffee cherries go into a centrifuge, which mechanically peels the kernels from the cherries. The cherry then lands in a cauldron where the fermentation process removes the remaining pulp. The next stage of treatment is rinsing to remove impurities from the grains. This is followed by drying the beans until they reach 11-14% moisture.. Coffee processed "wet" has a milder taste, but more intense acidity than coffee processed dry. There is also a strong culture of organic and Fair trade production in Peru. Fair trade certification can only apply to coffee produced by a cooperative. Farmers protect water resources for their communities and sequester carbon by managing a forest-like system.
