Organic Fairtrade Latin America
shortbread ~ golden syrup ~ praline
You may have noticed that according to supply, throughout the year we alter between Organic Fairtrade Honduras and Organic Fairtrade Peru - this is due to crop availability and quality, so that we can ensure you are getting a consistent Organic, Fairtrade & Rainforest Alliance speciality coffee from Latin America. So we thought we would create this new product for your ease!
We chose these two coffees because of their very similar flavour and roast profiles, SCA scores and price. We will always let you know here, and on the label, whether it is currently Peruvian or Honduran!
A clean and smooth coffee, with bright acidity and mellow body. A very sweet espresso. Notes of shortbread, praline and golden syrup. Organic, Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance.
PERU
The Farm
The land is covered with native forests that generate microclimate, organic matter for soil, microorganisms, conserve moisture and fresh water. The fruit trees planted by coffee growers allow it to be enriched with its aroma of coffee within flowering. Just like the aromatic plants such as ‘Galan de la Noche’ that opens its flower at dusk and its fragrance extends to the entire farm. Volcanoes that thousands of years ago erupted lava filled the ground with minerals. The height in which the farms are allows to cultivate and rescue very fine varieties in abundant harvest, being special in flavour and aroma.
The cooperative
Formed originally with 23 partners but now standing at just over 380, the aim was to come together to help facilitate negotiations, enter new markets, and obtain licenses or certifications for the export of coffee. Through this they have been able bring in environmental initiatives such as reforestation projects, solid waste management and soil conservation plans over the 750 hectares that their members own.
They now stand as one of the largest cooperatives in the area with not only a warehouse and administration offices, but a coffee lab too, which was created in 2021.
The process
Coffee is shade grown, and cherries are picked and then taken to flotation tanks that day for initial sorting of twigs, leaves and floaters.
Fermentation tanks hold the cherries for between 12-16 hours.
They are then washed again and dried on solar dryers in barns before being sorted according to size, quality and taste, and prepared for export.
