Peru (Peru) is also a big coffee producer. Up to 98% of Peruvian coffee is grown in forest areas, and most producers are small farmers.

Peru has good economic conditions and a stable political situation, thus ensuring the good quality of coffee. However, there are many local problems, in addition to guerrilla warfare and drug trafficking, the emergence of cholera along the coast in the mid-1990s led to a further economic depression, and what is more, the annual inflation rate reached 7000%.

In the mid-1970s, Peruvian coffee production was about 900000 bags a year, and then steadily increased to about 1.3 million bags a year. Although private exporters buy coffee in remote areas through middlemen, the main market is still monopolized by the government. Then came the private Comera de Exportadores de Cafe del Peru, which is committed to improving the quality of coffee. Its primary task is to set standards and eliminate inferior products, thus creating an atmosphere of quality supremacy. This positive move heralds a bright future for the coffee industry. Since then, rising prices have encouraged farmers to actively grow coffee rather than cocoa, the region's traditional cash crop.

Peru's finest coffee is produced in Chanchmayo, Cuzco, Norte and Puno. Most Peruvian coffee is grown under natural conditions, but it is also difficult to confirm the cultivation of all coffee trees. Coffee grown under natural conditions costs 10% to 20% more than others, and farmers may not have the money to buy chemical fertilizers and pesticides in terms of poverty, but it is really difficult to confirm all the coffee.

Flavor and taste characteristics: high quality and balanced, palatable acidity, can be used for mixed drinks

The Andes runs from north to south, and the mountains account for 1% of the country's area. it belongs to the tropical desert region with a dry and mild climate. Peruvian coffee is mostly grown at the foot of the Andes, where it is rich in traditional Central American top coffee beans.

Peruvian coffee beans are best known for their coffee beans from Chimacha Mayou in the middle and Cusco in the south. In addition, some areas in northern Peru also produce characteristic organic coffee. Organic coffee is made of beans grown in the shade of trees. Although the yield of coffee beans is not high because of the method of planting in the shade, its quality can reach the level of gourmet coffee. This is because shading trees can slow down the ripening of coffee trees, help coffee grow fully, make it contain more natural ingredients, breed better flavors, and reduce caffeine content.
