Ingredients

Origins
Highland coffees are very popular worldwide, and those from the Peruvian Andes are no exception. Because they are grown by relatively poor smallholders, they are not fertilized or treated with industrial products and can therefore be classified as organic. In the Puno region, which is close to the famous Lake Titicaca, the Arabica Typica variety is the main variety grown. Although it comes with lower yields, it's considered to be one of the best-quality varieties. Farmers who supply it to smaller buyers (such as us) do not need to artificially drive out production with chemicals because they do not need to keep the price down. This is more of a problem for the large coffee plantations that grow coffee for multinationals.
In the foothills of the Andes, coffee is harvested throughout growing season. In fact, coffee cherries ripen for 9-14 months. It's even possible that flowers and ripe fruit both appear on the coffee plant. They are hand-harvested and immediately transported for processing. This is done by the washed method – a more time-consuming and costly method, but one that guarantees high-quality production. The cherries are put into special water containers, stripped of their pulp by machine, and left to ferment in fermentation tanks. They are then dried either in direct sunlight or in drying ovens. Farmers must pay close attention to each step to avoid mold.
The coffee flavoring is in the hands of our experienced roaster. Just before roasting, the beans are sprayed with a carrier oil with the natural flavoring. The coffee thus retains its aroma and taste for a long period of time.
Making Flavored Coffee in an Automatic Coffee Machine
|
If you intend to make flavored coffee in an automatic coffee maker with a tray, we recommend checking the instructions for the coffee maker to ensure this is possible. If the machine manufacturer does not provide any information on flavored coffee, follow these recommendations: The natural aroma in this coffee may react with the plastic in the tray and cause it to spot on prolonged contact.
Apply same rules when grinding flavored coffee in grinders (both manual and electric). |
Benefits of coffee
Coffee packaging preview
Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
