La Esperanza - Peru Espresso

Peru is known for its high-quality Arabica coffees, which are grown in the high altitudes of the Andes. The unique combination of altitude, climate and soil conditions provides ideal conditions for coffee cultivation. Most coffee farms in Peru are small and run by families using traditional farming methods. In terms of processing, the coffee is usually washed, whereby the coffee cherries are de-pulped, fermented, washed and then dried in the sun. This process emphasizes the clear, bright aromas of the coffee and gives it a clean cup. In recent years, there has also been experimentation with other processing methods, resulting in a variety of flavor profiles. Coffee cultivation plays an important role in Peru's economy and there are many initiatives aimed at promoting the sustainable production and quality of Peruvian coffee.
This lot from the Cemcavir cooperative is also washed. It is a batch of different varieties that are processed together at the washing station.
