This coffee is part of a series of organic coffees from small cooperatives in Peru that are all engaged in a reforestation program as part of a producer-led holistic solution to the complex sustainability challenges they face. For every kilogram of this coffee you buy, 11 US cents (USC) is contributed by you to this important project. Maria Esmilda is a farmer and a member of the Cedros Cooperative in Cajamarca. She has two farms, El Pajuro and El Cedro that are one hectare each above 1830 masl in Sport Piura. They are mainly growing Caturra, but also Pache. The coffee is depulped, wet fermented for 22 hours, then dried in a parabolic dryer.
