Pérou – Cenfrocafé

// From LBB – Liberté, Berlue, Baisers // A touch of madness, a hint of altitude, a dose of love. I’m making a quick getaway; it smells of walnuts and has the audacity of chocolate. Put on your filter or set up your Moka, and off we go into the clouds! An Andean feel for a coffee that travels.

Direct trade coffee from the producer @Roasters United

The mountains of northern Peru are home to high-quality coffees, with a terroir enriched by the distinctive characteristics of Andean soils. Our coffee comes from the Cenfrocafé cooperative, recognized in the country as a model of quality, both in its agricultural production and the way it operates. The coffee is hand-picked in three rounds. It is then washed and fermented for about 18 hours in large tanks, before being naturally sun-dried on patios (large concrete or brick terraces).

Sometimes we have coffee from a neighboring cooperative, Sol y Café, which we buy through Oxfam Fair Trade. Ask us for more details.

Enjoy!
