Description
Around 90,000 hectares of coffee farmland in Peru is certified organic, and it is one of the places with the highest percentage of certified-organic exported coffee in the world. It is estimated that 25–30% of the smallholder farmers in Peru are members of democratically organized cooperatives and associations, making it easy to source FTO-certified lots.
While the country is emerging as a specialty market after many years of focusing on bigger lots and certifications, the president of Lima Coffee, Rony Lavan’s passion is with identifying and developing the top scores and the best cups, standing at the fore of microlot-quality coffees in Cajamarca. His first year with Lima Coffee, he entered the national competition and won; with the introduction of the Cup of Excellence competition to Peru in 2017, the country is poised to enter the international spotlight for its finest offerings. Rony and his coffees are the ones to watch.
