The best Peruvian coffee in our catalog
Peruvian coffee has moved beyond the commodity label. Our current selection of 20 lots highlights this shift toward high-altitude precision and variety diversity. You will find a heavy emphasis on washed processing, which accounts for 18 of these offerings, while the remaining two lots explore natural fermentation. The catalog is anchored by complex varieties like Geisha, Bourbon, and Caturra. Geographically, the lots trace back to the high-elevation landscapes of Cajamarca and Cusco, with additional representation from Amazonas and La Convencion. We are seeing consistent quality from roasters like Passenger, Nomad, and Sey. Whether you are looking for the clean, structured acidity of a washed lot or the experimental profile of a rare variety, these selections represent the current standard of Peruvian production.
What to taste for:Look for clean, structured acidity and a balanced sweetness that defines the high-altitude terroir of the Peruvian Andes.
