About this lot
ORIGIN Peru is one of the top-ten coffee producers in the world. Its thriving coffee sector is well established and continues to support the livelihoods of millions of smallholder producers. Chirinos is one of seven districts of the province of San Ignacio in Cajamarca Department in the northwest of the country. It borders to the north of Ecuador, overlooks the Amazonas to the east, and is known as the land of coffee, honey and bio-diverse forests. Chirinos is well connected to nearby cities, with new roads and a thriving town, which serves as a central regional hub for the coffee trade. PRODUCER Whilst the coffee landscape in Chirinos is still dominated by ‘middlemen’ traders, there is a growing interest in specialty coffee and some of the biggest cooperatives in the area have been promoting quality over quantity for a number of years.
