We’re excited to feature this smooth, washed coffee from Peru. In the cup, it’s balanced and naturally sweet, with a comforting character that makes it perfect for your daily cup.

This direct trade community blend comes from smallholder producers in Las Naranjas, near Jaén in the Cajamarca region. It comes from a farm we had the pleasure of visiting ourselves. Farms here are typically just a few acres, organically managed and intercropped with shade trees, bananas, corn, and beans, reflecting a deep cultural connection to the land.

Cherries are carefully harvested, floated to remove defects, then depulped, fermented, washed, and dried at each farm’s micro-mill. With the support of Origin Coffee Lab, producers receive guidance in cultivation, processing, logistics, traceability, and quality control, helping secure fair prices and reinvestment back into their farms and families.
