Sourced by Valley Coffee Trading from the highlands of Jaén in northern Peru, this Grade 1 organic washed green coffee reflects the biodiversity and rich agricultural heritage of the region. Jaén's mountainous terrain and extensive forests create a unique coffee origin, with altitudes ranging from 500 to 3,00О masl and microclimates that foster exceptional cup quality. The surrounding rivers-Marañón. Tabaconas, and Huabal-support fertile soils, while the region's Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status underscores its reputation for producing some of the best Peruvian green coffee beans.
Jaén is a hub for smallholder cooperatives that focus on highquality, traceable coffees. The region's lush ecosystems are home to diverse wildlife, including endangered species like the Andean bear, mountain tapir, yellow-tailed woolly monkey, and Andean lapwing. This balance of coffee farming and environmental stewardship is central to the identity of Peru green coffee from Jaén.
This lot undergoes traditional washed processing to showcase its bright, clean flavor profile. Ripe cherries are selectively picked, pulped, and fermented to remove mucilage before а thorough washing and sun-drying. This meticulous method preserves clarity in the cup, highlighting the natural sweetness and vibrant acidity prized in Peruvian green coffee beans.
