Peru

There are four producers involved in this cup, and only 10 families in the whole of Paltay - which is a pretty good ratio of producers to residents. Making a living from growing coffee, granadilla, and hot peppers; the people of Paltay live without immediate access to schools or medical centres or shops, but benefit and revel in a quiet, peaceful life. 

Sitting at an altitude of 1900 - 2000 masl, the Paltay community grow Caturra, Typica, and Catuai varieties. This cup is a smooth, every day drinker with notes of red apple, milk chocolate, and plum.
