Grown in the mountainous region of Cajamarca, Peru, between 1200 and 1900 meters above sea level, this coffee is produced by 223 female members of the Cosecha de Mujer, a dedicated group within the Prosperidad de Chirinos cooperative.
The cooperative, certified organic, empowers women farmers by providing training in leadership, farming techniques, and small-scale business management, all aimed at reducing gender inequalities.
Through the Fully Washed process, these farmers produce high-quality coffee while also engaging in food farming for added self-sufficiency and income.
The coffee is a mix of Bourbon, Catimor, Catuai, and Caturra varietals, carefully processed to bring out its rich flavors. With an SCA Cupping Score of 85, this coffee is a testament to the hard work and expertise of the women involved, each cup supporting not only quality but also equality within the coffee industry. The cooperative also includes a premium of $15 per 69kg bag that directly benefits the Cosecha de Mujer program.
Tasting Notes: A smooth blend of dark chocolate and brown sugar, highlighted with hints of hibiscus and plum, creating a balanced, rich cup with medium acidity and body.
