There are not many records about the introduction of coffee into Peru, but we know that it was introduced to Peru in the late 18th century. Most of the coffee grown in Peru is grown on small farms high in the Andes, covering an area of less than 2 to 3 hectares and about 1000 to 1800 meters above sea level. Most farmers are indigenous and speak Spanish as a second language. Their coffee is picked by hand and is usually processed with a small wet mill on the farm. Growers almost always walk long distances to sell coffee to middlemen in commercial centres, usually at relatively low prices. The product may change hands several times between local towns and exporters' factories, and there is a risk of mixing with other coffee, which adds to many challenges for farmers.

Another challenge facing the Peruvian coffee industry is poor roads, isolated locations of many farms and problems related to wet processing and drying. However in recent years the Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture has introduced more modern agricultural methods and encouraged the development of farmers' organizations. This more organized and centralized system, with an emphasis on certified coffee, leads to higher quality coffee, higher demand for Peruvian coffee in the international market and more competitive prices.

Peru is the ninth largest coffee producer in the world, accounting for 2% of global coffee production. It is also one of the leading producers of organic and fair trade certified coffee. The special elevation and abundant shade of the Andes provide an ideal environment for the cultivation of Arabica coffee.

Peru's grading system uses a unique term called "Mechanical cleaning Mejorado" (MCM) to specify a high degree of mechanical classification and preparation before export. The standard Peruvian Grade 1 MCM coffee cup has nutty and chocolate flavors and is usually crisp in acidity, light and medium-bodied with a light finish. Peru produces a wide variety of coffee, from tropical fruits to mellow red wines to sparkling citrus fruits, attracting many buyers who want to energize their products.
