The Story Behind Las Damas
Peru is one of the rising stars in the world of specialty coffee, and the Las Damas coffee exemplifies why. Grown in the Cajamarca region of northern Peru, this coffee is sourced through Royal New York, a company known for its commitment to sustainable and high-quality coffee.
What Makes the Cajamarca Region Special?
-
Ideal Growing Conditions: The coffee farms in Cajamarca are located at high altitudes ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 meters above sea level. The cool temperatures at these elevations slow the growth of coffee cherries, allowing them to develop complex flavors over time.
-
Unique Microclimates: Nestled in the Andes, the Cajamarca region boasts a variety of microclimates that contribute to its coffee's distinctive character. The combination of abundant rainfall, fertile soil, and moderate temperatures creates the perfect environment for producing high-quality Arabica beans.
-
Women-Led Cooperatives: The “Las Damas” in the coffee’s name refers to the incredible women farmers who contribute to its production. Many farms in this region are small-scale and family-run, with women playing a pivotal role in cultivating, harvesting, and processing coffee. Supporting this coffee means empowering these women and their communities.
-
Washed Processing: Peru Las Damas undergoes washed processing, a method that highlights its crisp, clean flavors. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are carefully fermented and washed to remove the fruit’s outer layers before being dried. This meticulous process preserves the coffee's bright acidity and allows its natural sweetness to shine.
