Scarlet Berry

Sale price$24.00

Scarlet Berry is a natural-processed coffee from JUMARP, a cooperative of 189 farmers growing Bourbon and Caturra varietals at 1,600-1,800 meters in the Amazonian Andes of northern Peru. Natural processing brings the fruit forward, and the result is vivid and sweet: raspberry candy up front, softening into ripe apricot and white peach. The acidity is bright but balanced, carried by a full, syrupy body. Best as a pour over where the fruit can shine.

History of Coffee in Peru

In 1897 the Belgian consul in Lima Peru wrote a report that “the coffee of Peru is delicious,” there was every reason to believe he was right. That same year, coffee exports had reached well over 20,000 bags, almost triple the 7,000 bags exported in 1894. But the turn of the century would prove to be a peak for that generation of Peruvian coffee exports. By 1913, exports had dropped back down to 9,000 bags. It would have been difficult to imagine on the eve of WWI that for most of the next 100 years Peru would be numbered among the top 10 coffee producing countries in the world, and even rise to the number 5 spot a few times. Looking back, it's not only easy to understand why, but easy to imagine increasing success in producing specialty coffee as a leading supplier of organic coffee.
