Peru's finest in every cup

Nestled in Peru’s valleys and mountains are some of the best coffee beans on the planet, where each cup is an unforgettable experience. On top of its exceptional flavor and peerless aroma, drinking coffee can help improve memory and attention span, slow aging and prevent diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Three to five cups per day also increases life expectancy.

Coffee-growing regions

In Peru, there are 47 provinces, 13 regions and 10 departments with perfect conditions for growing excellent-quality coffee: a variety of climates and ecological zones. 87% of all Peruvian coffee is grown in the San Martín, Cajamarca, Junín, Amazonas and Cusco regions.

Today's growers use ancient ecological techniques that meet the standards of demanding markets like the United States, Europe and Asia.

This attracts buyers from all over the globe, drawn to Peru by its wide array of distinct flavors.

140,000 hectares of the land used to grow coffee in Peru is certified as organic, ensuring entry to international markets. This certification guarantees that the grower uses no chemicals or fertilizers, i.e. that they respect the environment. Demand for this 100% natural coffee is constantly on the rise, since people prefer healthy options for their diet. They also have a fair trade certification, which ensures that a certain markup on the coffee will go to social projects.
