Introduction to Qianjie-Peruvian coffee

Coffee cultivation in Peru is mainly distributed in the areas of Cacumaca in the north, Cuzco and Norp in the south. 70% of the coffee varieties grown are iron pickups, 20% are Kaddura, and the rest are Kadim and other varieties. 75% of the coffee growing areas are located at an altitude of about 1000-1800 meters above sea level, while 2000 plants per hectare are grown in shady areas. Agriculture is mainly done by small farmers, and the planting area of organic coffee is 90,000 hectares.

Peru, currently the eighth largest coffee producer in the world, has found great business opportunities for organic coffee in Europe and the United States in the past decade, while coffee cultivation in Peruvian mountains has no running water and electricity equipment, and poor Indian farmers have been accustomed to organic cultivation since ancient times. up to now, they still cannot afford to buy or use pesticides and fertilizers. The authorities are taking advantage of the opportunity to develop the organic coffee industry, which is mentored and certified by the Government. If they meet the requirements, organic certificates will be issued to facilitate export.

Peruvian organic coffee has low production costs, making it the world's largest and cheapest exporter of organic coffee. The other two major organic coffee producers are Mexico and Ethiopia, but at higher prices. The authorities intend to develop Peru into the world's leading organic coffee country, just as Vietnam is the world's largest producer of Robusta, but the floor price strategy has caused resentment in many producing countries.

Although Peru dumps organic coffee at a low price, this does not mean that boutique coffee is extinct. In the 2010 SCAA Coffee of the year cup test, the tin card produced by Cecovasa in Tunkimayo, a small town in Puno, southeastern Peru, narrowly beat the rosy summer of the famous Panamanian emerald estate with a high score of 89.2, winning fifth place.

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.

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.
