Peru Negrisa

The San Ignacio Province sits at the top of the Cajamarca region in Northern Perú where the Rio Canchis splits the country from Ecuador. Here the western and eastern mountain ranges of the Andes meet to form microclimates in the buttresses and valleys that descend from the mountains to the Amazon basin. The farms are located in the buffer zones of a protected natural area, and have seen spectacled bears, cock-of-the-rocks, jaguars and peccaries within their boundaries. This means working with an organic methodology and certification is a strategic point because through these standards, a culture of protection of wildlife and species in danger of extension is encouraged and created.

Farms are mostly owned by hundreds of small producers, with farms often being less than two hectares in size with an average yield of less than 2 tons per harvest season. Varieties include Caturra, Typica, Pache and Bourbon.  Coffee is often grown in the shade of other taller plants and trees at high altitudes to produce denser beans and a more complex flavor and aroma profile, achieved through a slow ripening process in the shade.
