Peru – Estrellas de Cajamarca | Washed – Archived – 40g SAMPLE

Estrellas de Cajamarca is a new project from our friends at Swift coffee. Created and sourced to provide a comfortable profile at a fair price it’s a versatile coffee that has the hallmark sweetness and cocoa flavours of the region with the liveliness and fruit that comes from careful selection. Hopefully this is the first of many years we can bring this coffee in. Cajamarca’s coffee industry is dependent on numerous smallholders. That is why you find many farms between 2 and 3 hectares of land. Large estates are rare. On the farm, you find small pulpers and several home-built parabolic dryers. In some cases, farmers dry parchment alongside the road. High-yield varieties like Catimor, Catuai, and Mundo Novo are popular among growers. Besides these sturdier varieties, you will find others like Bourbon, Typica (which locals call ‘National’), and Caturra.
