Poor infrastructure in the country has attracted development groups which have helped many farms gain fair trade and organic certifications. The three largest production regions are on the eastern slope of the Andes: San Martin Region, the Amazonas and the Chanchamayo.  It is the fifth largest exporter of Arabica beans in the world and while Peru is one of the more often-forgotten coffees, this doesn’t take away from the quality of beans.  Peru SHB EP  Specialty beans have a Q grade within the cupping ranges of 81 – 84 and primarily come from the Satipo and Aprocanorsi coops, which are in the San Ignacio and Central Amazon regions. These coffees have a sweet aroma, a smooth, creamy body, a well-balanced fruity flavor, with mild acidity and a clean aftertaste. Those with good pallets can taste chocolate tones, malt, and a sweet and fruity aroma.  DETAILS 100% Arabica Coffee.
