  • Description

    "Chorro Blanco" is a descriptive local name used by coffee farmers to refer to a specific micro-region where this coffee is cultivated and broadly refers to a clear (white) running stream and waterfall that can be found in the area.


    This lot is a blend of coffees from various smallholders across the region. Each of the producers farms around 1.5 hectares, with the main varieties grown being caturra, catimor and bourbon.

     

    Following harvest, the majority of these producers dry their coffee on plastic mats on the ground, similar to patio drying. Coffees are purposefully selected and blended together based on tasting notes typical of the Cajamarca region.

     

    Component lots come from high altitude areas and the harvest is processed and dried by the producers on their farms. Once processed, the parchment coffee is delivered to Falcon's Jaen warehouse where it is graded, moisture tested, roasted and cupped.

  • Origin

    Situated in western South America, Peru shares borders with Colombia and Ecuador in the north, Brazil in the east and Chile and Bolivia in the south. At its west coast lies the Pacific Ocean.


    Peru is country of diverse climates and habitats including the Andes mountain range. This coffee comes from the Cajamarca area, located at the northern end of the Peruvian Andes. The area offers a great climate, good soil and terrain for the local smallholders to produce excellent coffee, but the quality is often lost in processing due to lacking infrastructure and knowledge.


    By forging direct long-term relationships with the farmers, our importer, Falcon Specialty works to provide training and improve household income for the farmers which, in turn leads to a continuing cycle of improvement in coffee yield and quality.
