Peru Green Coffee

Peruvian coffee is known for its clean and balanced cup, thanks in large part to the common use of the washed processing method. This approach brings out the coffee’s natural clarity and highlights its delicate flavours.
In terms of taste, Peruvian coffee often features a medium body and mild acidity, making it approachable and versatile. Flavour-wise, it typically offers comforting nutty and chocolatey notes, paired with subtle hints of citrus that add brightness to the cup. In some regions, you’ll also find coffees with delicate floral undertones, which add an extra layer of complexity.

Peru is renowned for its exceptional Arabica coffee, which accounts for the majority of its production. As the world’s 9th largest coffee producer, Peru’s coffee industry is as diverse as its landscapes, offering a wide range of flavor profiles that reflect the country’s varied climates and growing regions.
Peru boasts ten distinct coffee-growing regions, each with unique characteristics shaped by the country’s microclimates and soil conditions. These regions are home to different coffee varietals, including Caturra, Typica, Bourbon, and Geisha, among others. The interplay of these varietals with the distinct environments creates coffees that are wonderfully complex and diverse in flavour.
Peru’s coffee-growing regions offer something for everyone, from rich and chocolatey profiles to bright and floral notes. This diversity makes Peruvian coffee a must-try for anyone looking to explore the incredible range of flavors Arabica coffee can offer.
