Your guide to Peru Green Coffee

  • What is the flavour profile of Peruvian 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.

  • What kind of coffee is grown in Peru?

    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.

Simply drop us a message at hello@greencoffeecollective.com, and we’ll work closely with you to explore the options and meet your needs.

How do I know your coffees are top quality?

We totally get it - quality is everything! That’s why we offer samples for almost all our coffees, so if you’re unsure, you can try it yourself before committing. Plus, every coffee comes with a detailed, easy-to-read cupping report where we break down the scores using SCA protocol and list all the flavour notes. We’re all about transparency, so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting!

Are your coffees ethically and sustainably sourced?

Absolutely! We source all our coffees either directly from producers or through trusted sourcing partners who are just as committed to ethical practices as we are. We take the time to ensure the people behind the coffee are treated fairly. If you want to learn more, you can dive into our values.

How can I get in touch with your team?

We love hearing from our customers. If you’ve got a question or need any help, just shoot us an email at hello@greencoffeecollective.com, and a member of our team will be happy to assist you. We’re always here to make sure you’re taken care of!

What sizes or quantities can I order?

We offer coffee starting from as little as 0.5kg (1 lb) all the way up to full sacks. If you’re looking for larger quantities than what’s listed on our site, just get in touch! We’d be happy to help you organise and place a custom order. We're here to make sure you get exactly what you need.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for large-scale or long-term contracts?

For larger-scale or long-term contracts, you can start with as little as a single bag. We’re also working on tools to help you access harvests and reserve coffees before they even leave the country. While it’s not fully ready yet, we’re always here to help roasters of any size connect with the producers they want to work with.

What’s your pricing structure, and are there discounts or benefits for bulk purchases?

Our pricing is straightforward. For quantities smaller than 60kg, we add a small premium to cover warehousing, picking, packaging, handling, and shipping—this helps make smaller orders possible. For full sacks, we take a commission from our sourcing partners, so the price you pay with us is the same as if you purchased directly from them. Discounts for larger volumes are listed on our site, and we calculate these based on consultations with producers and sourcing partners, reflecting the benefits of buying in bulk and committing to ongoing orders.
