Peruvian coffee, famous for its organic coffee. Peru (Spanish: Per ú; Quechua, Aymara: Piruw), the full name of the Republic of Peru (Spanish: Rep ú blica del Per ú), is a country in western South America.

Peru is a coffee-rich country-only 10% of Arabica coffee can be called boutique coffee. The plateau climate brought by high altitude, as well as suitable temperature, air, light and fertile soil, these unique geographical advantages prolong the growing period of coffee beans and provide perfect conditions for growing delicious and fragrant Arabica coffee beans.

The Chanchamayo producing area of central Peru is a native Indian of the local Yanesha tribe. The mountain is extremely high above sea level, averaging between 1550 and 1850 meters above sea level. It is an ancient Indian reserve with 20, 000 inhabitants who raise poultry and farm livestock for a living. In order to increase family income, they set up the Yanisha Cooperative CENTRAL DEPRODUCTORES YANESHA (CEPRO YANESHA) and began to grow coffee. Through a Dutch Rabobank Foundation project, with the assistance of financial and technical personnel, it began exporting one container (18 tons) to the European market in 2011, and two more containers in 2012, which will become 13 containers and fewer high-priced special raw beans by 2017, greatly improving the income of local aboriginal families.

Cepro Yanesha COOP is located in remote mountain areas and sparsely populated. Its coffee is grown in an organic (Organic Coffee) way. With the assistance of the Rabobank Foundation Fund, experts guide organic cultivation and then sell it to importers through Rabobank links. Members of the cooperative coffee family grow less than 2 hectares on average, and the cooperative is surrounded by natural primeval forests, tall trees and fertile land. Moreover, the intermittent torrential rain in the afternoon brings abundant rainfall and moisture, and primitive animals and plants create natural shade trees and natural organic matter that increase soil fertility. Today, under the Rabobank Foundation Fund Assistance Program, 70 coffee cooperatives have successfully grown coffee for marketing and export through this fund. Coffee has a soft citrus flavor, very low acidity, medium mellow, caramel sweetness and balanced taste. Charming aroma and soft taste, sweet and meticulous.
