London Fields Peru

Description

  This specialty single-origin Arabica coffee is grown on the steep slopes of the Andes by The Chirinos co-operative, one of our favorite producers at London Fields Roastery. The high altitude and fertile volcanic soils have enabled Chirinos to produce amazing coffee consistently for over 50 years and its 815 members are committed and focussed on producing Fairtrade, 100% organic coffee, something that is very important to the ethos of Cafedirect.

  The Chirinos co-op is also part of Producers Direct center of excellence, which allows the farmers to teach their most eco-friendly and sustainable practices to other farmers, thus increasing yields and quality of organic coffees for the whole region. The co-op has also installed a youth committee, to encourage youngsters to get involved with farming from an early age. Also, there’s a driving hope that farming will soon be more entrepreneurial-based, rather than the traditional, old model of farming.
