Coffee from Peru
Peru is the quiet value origin: roughly 200,000 smallholders, a very high share of certified organic production, and cup quality that has climbed sharply in the last decade.
Cajamarca, Amazonas, San Martín and Cusco supply most of what reaches specialty roasters. Altitude is high and labour is largely family, but infrastructure is thin — for years the limiting factor was not the coffee but the drying and the roads.
The cup tends to be gentle and sweet rather than loud: milk chocolate, almond, soft citrus, moderate acidity. That makes Peru unusually good value, and a reasonable place to look when a Colombian of similar quality costs six dollars more.
