Peruvian coffee used to be uncommon internationally, and it is generally believed that its handling process is hasty, so the evaluation is poor, which is the result of a previous state monopoly. In fact, Peruvian coffee has good growth conditions, and many of them are grown organically, so the quality of coffee beans has always been quite good.

Almost all of Colombia's finest coffee beans come from traditional small farms, which grow old coffee trees from Typica, which are well planted and carefully harvested and treated, so they are of high quality but relatively low in yield.
