Sourced by Valley Coffee Trading from the highlands of Jaén in northern Peru, this Grade 1 organic washed green coffee showcases the biodiversity and rich agricultural heritage of the region. The mountainous terrain and dense forests of Jaén create a distinctive coffee origin, with elevations spanning 500 to 3,000 masl and microclimates that cultivate exceptional cup quality. Nourished by the surrounding rivers—Marañón, Tabaconas, and Huabal—the fertile soils produce coffees of remarkable character, while the region's Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status affirms its standing as a source of some of the finest Peruvian green coffee beans.
 
Jaén serves as a center for smallholder cooperatives dedicated to producing high-quality, traceable coffees. The region's rich ecosystems support a wide range of wildlife, including endangered species such as the Andean bear, mountain tapir, yellow-tailed woolly monkey, and Andean lapwing. This harmony between coffee cultivation and environmental conservation lies at the heart of what defines Peru green coffee from Jaén.
 
Peru, the world's 5th largest producer of Arabica coffee and one of the leading sources of certified organic coffee, is steadily gaining in popularity. The thin air, soaring altitudes, and fertile soil throughout the country create a breathtaking environment where coffee thrives, while farmers in regions like Jaén employ sustainable practices—composting, manual weeding, shade management, and natural pest control—that respect the land and local biodiversity, ensuring each bag of organic unroasted coffee delivers exceptional flavor alongside a commitment to environmental health. Though sharing a border with Brazil, the largest coffee-producing nation in the world, presents challenges given its unmatched efficiency and price points, Peru finds its footing in differentiation and variety, making every harvest something to look forward to.
