Peru produces a remarkable amount of organic coffee — most of it grown by smallholder farmers on plots in Cajamarca, San Martín, Junín, and Cusco. The altitudes are high, the slopes are steep, and the specialty segment has grown sharply in the past decade as producers started investing in processing and cupping.

Peruvian specialty tends toward clean, sweet profiles — milk chocolate, nougat, stone fruit — with a softer acidity than you’d find in Colombia or Ecuador. Caturra, Bourbon, and Typica are the varieties to know. Washed dominates, though naturals are appearing more often as producers experiment.

Peru is still underpriced relative to its quality. Roasters who source carefully find some of their best deals here.
