Fairtrade Peru – Medium Roast

🔥 Roast
Medium roast — perfectly balanced to showcase the coffee’s vibrant brightness and subtle sweetness without sacrificing body or clarity.

👅 Tasting Profile
An approachable and engaging cup featuring medium acidity, a smooth body, and delightful flavor notes of lemon, herbal nuances, and chocolate—creating a consistently satisfying experience.

🌱 Grower
Grown by the Asociación de Productores Cafetaleros Juan Marco El Palto (JUMARP)—a cooperative of around 189 Fairtrade-certified farmers (including 40 women) in the northern Andes of Peru, operating since 2003 to improve quality and community welfare.

🌿 Variety
Blended from traditional Arabica varietals: Typica, Castillo, Bourbon, and Catimor, offering layered complexity and depth.

🌍 Region
Sourced from the lush Amazonas region in northern Peru, situated along the eastern slopes of the Andes—renowned for specialty coffee production.

🏔 Altitude
Cultivated at 1,600 to 1,800 meters above sea level, these elevations help beans develop refined acidity and clarity over time.

🧱 Soil Type
Although not explicitly stated, the region typically features Andean volcanic and mineral-rich soils, known to enhance sweetness and structure.

🛁 Process
Coffee is washed and sun-dried, then graded as Grade 1, SHG (Strictly High Grown), and EP (European Preparation)—ensuring excellent uniformity and cup quality.

Brewing Tip

For optimal flavor, brew with a pour-over or drip method using water at 195–200 °F and a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio. This enhances its citrus notes and smooth herbal undertones. Also enjoyable as a latte with steamed milk to warm the chocolate finish.

Bottom Line

Temecula’s Fairtrade Peru offers an elegant and ethically sourced coffee experience—bright, smooth, and distinctly balanced with thoughtful flavor layers. It’s a great fit for both everyday sipping and specialty caffeine moments.
