Peru, Chonta, Medium Roast, Whole Bean and Ground

The Chontali mountain range forms a ring around the Chunchucas River valley in Cajamarca. The steep, forested slopes level out as you approach their peaks, ranging from 1100 to 2100 masl, making coffee farming possible in the fertile, loamy soil. Since the 1950s, when coffee cultivation first began in Chontali, the region has blossomed with steady improvement, and coffee now grows across 2,700 hectares. Most farmers in Chontali are smallholders, with an average of 2-4 hectares of land each.

Coffee in Peru is graded based on the altitude at which it was grown, similar to the grading systems of other Latin American countries. High-quality Peruvian coffee is marked as Strictly Hard Bean (SHB), and SHB Peru green coffee grows above 1350 masl.
