Peru El Palmo Organic

Aromas Del Valle, situated in the Cajamarca Region of Northern Peru, transitioned from an association to a cooperative in 2021. With around 300 members, the cooperative aims to enhance representation, promote greater member participation, and provide improved access to funding. They strive to cultivate niche markets and actively participate in the coffee social movement at both national and international levels.

This coffee is produced by Jorge Silva on his farm, El Palmo, which is part of the Aromas Del Valle cooperative. Jorge’s farm is located in El Campo of Callayuc, in Cutervo, Cajamarca, at over 2,000 meters above sea level. Founded approximately five years ago, the farm benefits from fertile soils and diverse microclimates, contributing to a wide range of flavour profiles. Jorge focuses on enhancing his processing techniques, fermentation methods, and farming practices.

For Jorge, coffee is more than just a job—it's a way of life. His greatest motivation is his family, and through his passion for coffee, he has secured their well-being. The diversity of coffees found in Peru, which are organic throughout, gives a very nice spectrum to the range of coffees found in this country.

When we tasted the espressos pulled from this coffee, it reminded us of a dense sweetness like red berries and tartaric acidity reminiscent of grapes. It has a smooth coating finish with hints of bakers chocolate and roasted hazelnut.
