Peru Fair Trade Organic

Arrived October 2025, new crop, in grainpro. While some coffee from this year's Peru harvest arrived about a month ago, top coffee, like this Cenfrocafe APU, are just arriving. 

This is the highest grade from Cenfrocafe, their APU coffee. Cooperatively gathered from farmers in the Jaen and San Ignacio provinces of north western Peru near the border with Ecuador and processed at the Cenfrocafe Cooperative. There are 2800 coop member farmers and families contributing coffee cherry, mostly grown between 1300 and 2000 meters, 4300 to 6500 feet. The contributing farms are very small with average organic production of only 40 pounds of coffee, in parchment, per acre. The coop provides its members with technical assistance and quality control advice, plus economic and leadership training as well as loans that are used to cover harvest costs and schooling for children. This is an export grade called APU which is the top sort from the Cenfrocafe Cooperative. Coffee rated 86+ points are separated and sold under this standard, the best offered. APU grade is grown on the highest elevation farms in the area.
