Front Street-Peruvian Coffee introduction

Peru (Spanish: Per ú), a country in western South America, has an extremely long coastline, as well as the Andes Mountains, which cover 1/3 of the country's area. The western part of Peru has a tropical desert climate, while the eastern and central part of Peru has a plateau, mountain or tropical rain forest climate. Many climatic environments are in the same country. Rich climate diversity and large temperature difference between day and night have created a unique coffee growing environment in Peru.

Peru gave birth to the Little Northern prehistoric civilization, one of the earliest human civilizations in the Americas, and the Inca Empire, the largest country in the Americas before Columbus. Unfortunately, it was later colonized by Spain, and wars continued for hundreds of years. Although Peru began to grow coffee in the mid-18th century, it was one of the first countries in the Americas to grow coffee, but it was mostly for domestic consumption and rarely exported.

Opportunity did not emerge until the end of the 19th century, when a large-scale leaf rust swept through Indonesia and neighboring countries, causing European buyers to start looking for new sources of coffee, and Peru became their target. At the beginning of the 20th century, Europeans invested in coffee cultivation in Peru, making coffee Peru's primary industry, accounting for 60% of Peru's merchandise exports at that time.

However, there are always ups and downs in the story. In 2014, major coffee producers in South America experienced a leaf rust crisis, in which Peru suffered heavy losses, with exports falling by about 37 per cent to 2.44 million bags from 3.88 million bags in the previous season. During the 2017 / 2018 season, Peruvian coffee exports have rebounded to 4.03 million bags. According to a report from the United States Department of Agriculture on April 23, 2019, Peru is expected to produce 4.5 million bags and export 4.3 million bags in the production season of 2019.

Peru has a unique natural environment: high altitude, plateau climate, suitable temperature, air, light, fertile soil, which lengthens the growing season of coffee beans and makes Arabica coffee taste fragrant and delicious.

About tree species

Peru is the eighth largest producing area in the world in terms of total output. Almost all coffee trees grown in Peru are Arabica, of which more than 70% are Tibica, about 20% are Kaddura, a small number of Katim and so on. About 75% of the coffee trees are planted between 1000 and 1800 meters above sea level.
