Their exceptional coffee
Immediate takeoff guaranteed
Peru is rich in diversity. From the Amazon jungle to golden beaches, from the Andes mountain range to one of South America's largest lakes, it offers a huge variety of landscapes and climates. And the same could be said of its coffee. Peru was one of the first countries in America to receive coffee plants and is generally regarded as a producer of exceptional beans.
Coffee plays an important role in the Peruvian economy. It provides an economic income for around 223,000 Peruvian families. Farmers belong to local cooperatives, which enable their beans to reach a wider audience and obtain much fairer prices. It is thanks to these cooperatives that local farmers can demand a decent living and a fair wage for their hard work. Production remains centred on the Cajamarca region in the north of the country, where half of the country's coffee is grown. Over seventy per cent of this coffee is Typica, followed by Caturra (20%) and others (10%), although other varieties are also grown. Coffee is also produced in other regions such as Cusco and Junín, in the south of the country.
"La Brûlerie du Cantin selects for you a country, a terroir, a plantation and above all, farmers who want to improve the quality of their coffee, which allows them to be freer in their actions."
The coffee is selected by hand, which can be very dangerous as you go higher in altitude. To extract the pulp from the beans, the cherries are washed and then dried in the sun. Typically, Peruvian coffee is dry processed, but there is also a small market for wet processing.

Like most major coffee producers who, over the years, have continued to improve their production, Peruvian coffee also has a promising future. It has evolved positively towards healthy production and high quality grains. This progress has allowed Peru to move closer to major coffee producers such as Brazil and Colombia.
The land of Ywangan
Peruvian coffee remains one of the best organic coffees you can taste. These medium roast beans produce a complex, full-bodied coffee, with a slight acidity and a bright finish that few coffees offer.
