Peru La Alianza Natural

About this coffee

Our first ever natural coffee from Peru is from La Alianza. This farm was introduced to us by Clara at the Amsterdam Coffee Festival. The farm is located at 1.930 meters above sea level in the North of Peru in Huabal in the well know Cajamarca region. Most coffee in Peru is grown in this region.

Saulo Díaz and his family take care of it, nurturing the beans with dedication. atimor variety was introduced in the ’70s in Africa, mainly for its high yield and resistance to both coffee leaf rust and coffee berry disease. The processing of this Catimor lot involved drying the coffee for approximately 20 days in shade on raised beds made with Guayaquil wood and reeds. Prior to the drying process, the coffee was fermented for 50 hours in sealed tanks (timbres) and in enclosed rooms with controlled temperatures.

Super sweet and thick coffee with flavours of blueberry, hazelnut and hibiscus. Very good coffee for espresso and milk based drinks.
