About the Coffee:
The northern part of Peru, thanks to the Andes mountain range and its proximity to the equator, has a warm climate, fertile lands and dense vegetation. It is an area with great cultural wealth and full of traditions that the population has managed to preserve up to today. In that northern area, the Cajamarca region stands out for its diversity in geography, ranging from Andean ecosystems to high-altitude forestsof great beauty. Cajamarca’s pastures are well known for providing a great environment for cattle to grow and producing delicious dairy products. It is very easy to fall in love with the gastronomy but also with the quality of the coffee here!
This lot comes from the Callayuc district in the Cutervo province, where cultivation of coffee is recent, especially in the populated centers. Two years ago our importer from Culvitar started to work with two communities and in a certain way their collaboration started by coincidence. It all began with the search for one specific coffee grower who is called Susana. They tasted her coffee in 2020 and were very impressed. Determined to find her and get in touch, Dreyde and Lisanne of the Cultivar team stepped on the motorcycle and drove 2.5 hours to the Callayuc district while asking people in the area if they knew her and where she could live. And they did find her! Not only was her coffee great again, they also shared the story of their search when they came back to the coffee warehouse in Jaén and their colleague Goti said: “But my husband comes from the neighboring community!” People in this area call Goti’s husband “El Zorro”(The Fox) and found that this was a great name for this lot. This actually helped establish a relationship with more growers from the region and it was a great help in immediately establishing a certain level of trust in the community.

How to understand the grid on the packaging?
We wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to choose your coffee, so we worked with the guys from Steezy Graphic Studio to come up with a “grid” – a simple grid where you can easily find the characteristics of each coffee.
The red dot next to the description of each coffee is placed exactly there, so that you can easily imagine how the coffee will taste.
Citrus - Chocolate
Here we’d like to give you an idea of how fruity the coffee will be. There’s a long way from citrus to chocolate, so imagine more in between:
citrus, berries, green apples, red apples, stone fruits, dried fruits, nuts, milk chocolate and dark chocolate 😉
Mild – wildWhat is mild coffee? We’d say it’s unpretentious. A coffee that you can just have every morning and not have to think too much about it. It’s just good.
