Introduction to Peruvian organic coffee? What are the flavor and taste characteristics of Peruvian organic coffee Tunki?

Peru is the world's largest producer and exporter of organic coffee and the fourth largest exporter of coffee in the world.

Peruvian coffee has always been famous for its premium boutique coffee (Premium Specialty Coffee) and has been internationally recognized in coffee competitions in Europe and the Americas. Coffee produced by Puno and Cajamarca in Peru has won prizes in the American Special Coffee Association (Specialty Coffee Association of America, referred to as SCAA), the Rain Forest Alliance (Rainforest Alliance), Fair Trade Coffee (Fair Trade coffee), as well as ​ cup testing competitions in France and Belgium. For example, in 2010, the American Special Coffee Association named the Peruvian coffee "El Tunki" as the best specialty coffee in the world.

Because of its excellent quality and high popularity, many experts regard Peruvian coffee as a treasure and even spend a lot of money to buy Peruvian coffee. Peruvian brown cat coffee beans (Uchunari-Peaberry Coffee), for example, set a record of $5500 per pound in the UK.

The diversity of Peruvian coffee

At present, Peru has a total of 250000 hectares of coffee fields, they are mainly distributed in the Amazon jungle, between 1000 and 2000 meters above sea level.

The main variety produced in Peru is Arabica coffee (Coffea Arabica), which is famous for its unique aroma, taste and acidity. Coffee exported from Peru usually goes through the following special certifications:

Boutique Coffee or Special Coffee (Specialty or Gourmet): after strict selection and classification, select the coffee beans with the most outstanding taste and flawless taste.

Organic coffee (Organic): cultivated in a natural way, free of synthetic chemicals, and seeks to protect nature and human health.

Fair Trade Coffee (Fair Trade): encourage enterprises to skip middlemen and buy products from coffee farmers at reasonable prices to ensure that farmers get substantial benefits.

Birdfriend Coffee (Bird Friendly): in the process of planting, emphasis is placed on protecting bird habitats. Adopt appropriate vital farming techniques.

Rainforest Alliance Coffee (Rainforest Alliance): coffee is produced by planting to protect the forest, with the idea of conserving wildlife and maintaining biodiversity.

Coffee and grower equity standard (C.A.F.E. Practices): part of Starbucks Coffee Corporation (Starbucks), which compiles a set of criteria for judging coffee quality. Support the concept of sustainable environmental management and social development.

I have to mention the award-winning deeds of "Tunki", an organic boutique coffee. It won the title of "the world's best boutique coffee" in the 2010 Coffee of the year competition organized by the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA), and stood out from 250 participating countries, including Salvado, the United States, Guatemala, Kenya, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.

The international coffee competition is conducted by more than 30 professional judges of the American Fine Coffee Association to identify and select the best coffee in the world.

Tunki also won the silver medal in the 2009 Rainforest Alliance (Rainforest Alliance) coffee quality cup test competition.

High quality dry aroma (Fragrance), wet aroma (Aroma), flavor (Taste), flavor (Flavor), mellow (Body), finish (Aftertaste) are the main characteristics of Tunki coffee. Peru's top bean Tunki tastes mild, with rich chocolate sweetness, moderate acidity and floral aromas.

Tunki is the Andean crested umbrella bird (cock-of-the-rock) in the Quechua language of South America (Quechua) and the Peruvian national bird. Their habitat covers the Tunkimayo area of San Pedro de Putina Punco in Puno, where coffee growers Wilson Sucaticona grow Tunki coffee.

The achievement of this internationally renowned boutique coffee is not only due to its high quality, but also due to the enthusiastic commitment of coffee farmers to the job and their commitment to the country.

Also worth mentioning is "Quechua" Coffee, which won the Rainforest Alliance (Rainforest Alliance) coffee quality cup test competition in 2011 and is more unique than 35 other coffees from Latin American countries.

These honors make Peru a recognized supplier of high-quality coffee all over the world.
