Peruvian Green Coffee Beans Fairtrade Organic certified

Peru Fairtrade Organic Certified

Grade SHG Grade 1

This washed Peruvian green coffee comes from the Montegrande Agricultural Producers Association in Cajamarca, Peru, a Fairtrade and Organic certified group of smallholder farmers growing coffee at elevations between 1,500 to 1,900 masl. These certifications support responsible farming practices while helping ensure more stable pricing and reinvestment at origin. This coffee reflects a collective effort to improve quality, sustainability, and long-term stability in coffee-growing communities.

Processed using the washed method, the coffee delivers a clean and balanced cup with a nutty, cocoa-forward profile, complemented by soft caramel sweetness. It shows a buttery mouthfeel, medium acidity, and a smooth, well-balanced finish.

Available in very small quantities, these green coffee beans are well suited for specialty roasters and commercial programs seeking reliability and steady performance. Secure your Fairtrade Organic coffee.

This is unroasted coffee ready to be roasted at home or your local roastery.

What is so special about this coffee?

What truly sets this coffee apart is the people behind it. As a Fairtrade Organic certified supports environmentally responsible farming practices while ensuring more transparent trade and reinvestment into the Montegrande producer community.

The Montegrande Agricultural Producers Association brings together smallholder farmers under shared standards focused on quality improvement and long-term stability. Rather than relying on isolated production, this coffee reflects a collaborative system where certification, organization, and continuous improvement work together to support both consistency and sustainable growth over time.

Montegrande Producers Association: From Structure to Opportunity

Behind this coffee is a group of producers working to build more stable and sustainable farming systems in Cajamarca. Through the Montegrande Agricultural Producers Association, farmers gain access to shared resources, training, and market connections that would be difficult to achieve individually.

Montegrande is a certified organic and Fairtrade coffee producer. This certification plays a key role in how they operate, helping ensure that part of the value created returns to the community. This allows producers to invest in their farms, improve infrastructure, and build long-term viability in their coffee production.

The Land Behind Montegrande Coffees

These coffees are grown across the mountains of Cajamarca, where altitude, diverse microclimates, and fertile soils shape coffee development. The region’s conditions allow for steady cherry maturation, supporting coffees with clarity and balance that reflect their highland origin.

Rather than coming from a single estate, these coffees represent the combined work of multiple smallholder farms. This distributed production model reflects the diversity of the region, while ongoing improvements in farm management and infrastructure continue to strengthen quality and long-term production capacity.
