The fruity flavor with a hint of fermentation gives a rounded impression like fresh blueberries or tropical fruits. The candy-like sweetness and smooth syrup taste spread pleasantly in your mouth.

Peru is known as the third largest coffee producing country in South America after Brazil and Colombia, and was once known as a producer of low-quality organic and fair trade coffee. However, it is now attracting attention as a producer of high-quality organic coffee.

Peru has a long history of coffee cultivation dating back to the 18th century, and its diverse land area stretches from 400m to 4500m above sea level, with localized climates that vary according to region and topography. These climates, called microclimates, create unique coffee flavors in each growing region. Thanks to this rich environment, Peru offers coffees with a wide variety of characteristics, from red fruit, wine, and exotic spice flavors to floral, citrus, and sweet chocolate flavors. With a history of traditional organic farming, coffee production that pursues environmental sustainability can be said to be one of the ideals that modern specialty coffee aims for.

Pamfilo Adriano Zurita is a farmer in the San Pedro region of the Tabaconas district in the province of San Ignacio. His three farms, La Bureba, La Caña and El Guataraco, are named after the native birds and plants that live in the forests of the San Pedro hills.

Pamfilo is passionate about coffee growing on his two hectares of land, focusing on the Pache, Mundo Novo, Caturra and Catimor varieties. In 2020, he joined the Cedros Cooperative, where he is part of a network of committed growers.

The Cedros Cooperative was founded on May 10, 2013 in the Cajamarca region of northern Peru. With around 300 members, the cooperative improves its members' access to public and private financing, actively develops niche markets, and contributes to the national and international coffee social movement.

Cedros Café supports its members by offering premiums based on the quality of the cup, providing critical farm infrastructure such as solar dryers, and installing advanced post-harvest processing equipment such as pulpers and fermentation tanks. Together with hands-on training, the cooperative is committed to improving the quality of the cup through a variety of initiatives.

To ensure transparency of prices, premiums, rebates and other forms of support, Cedros encourages consensus through democratic and transparent general assemblies among its members. Profit sharing is collectively approved and then allocated based on consensus.
