Fair Trade Organic Peru Norandino

The majority of Peruvian coffee production comes from small farms owned and managed by Indigenous people of Peru.  Producers follow organic farm management practices and tend to cultivate coffee on just a few acres of land.  Crop diversity is of great import and coffee grows amongst shade trees, bananas, corn, and beans. 

The small coffee farms generally belong to regional cooperatives that focus on investing in social programs, using the collective resources generated from coffee sales.  Cooperatives focus on environmental training programs, healthcare initiatives, and educational opportunities.

This Peruvian is perfect for those dipping their toes into the world of light roast coffees.  It is incredibly smooth with low acidity and has none of the biting, yeasty flavor some of the more astringent light roasts carry.  Peru Norandino is balanced with a nutty flavor and notes of chocolate.
