Product Details Return to Top Tasting Notes In the cloud forest of the Andes — the ancient land of the Incas — coffee is grown much has it has been for generations ... with great care, and with great respect for the land. Descendants of Inca Indian tribes, coffee growers here are proud of their traditions. Coffee is grown organically, and in the shade of a lush jungle canopy. Rating: 88 Points (out of 100) Lushly complex but delicate aroma, alive with floral and low-acid fruit notes: apple perhaps, even banana, leaning toward chocolate ... The seductively low-acid fruit notes persist from aroma into cup, reading as red wine and chocolate. The finish is long and rich... — Ken Davids, CoffeeReview.com, Sept. 2005 Notes From Origin Peru is a country of majesty — majestic ruins like Machu Piccu, majestic mountains like the Andes, and majestic cultures like that of the Inca. Increasingly, Peru is also a country of majestic coffee. Coffee coming from Northern Peru tends to have a sharper quality to its flavor, whereas coffee grown in the central and southern highlands is milder, likely because of lower altitude. We purchase this coffee from La Florida Cooperative in the Chanchamayo region of Peru. This particular co–op has used the earnings that their Fair Trade coffee has generated in some very innovative ways. Recently, the cooperative started the Occupational Learning Center for Sustainable Agriculture. This is a technical school that provides education in sustainable farming practices. As a result of this program, coffee growers are better equipped to farm in an environmentally safe manner. In general, coffee farmers in Peru contribute significantly to the organic coffee sector. As a result, they receive better prices for their coffee and are able to use more environmentally sound farming practices. These organic farming techniques result in the protection of the immense biodiversity of the region. This coffee is a treat for the taste buds and for the land.

Your company could teach others how to roast coffee for a tremendous fee. Here in my state there isn't one roaster who does not burn the beans during the roasting process resulting in bitter, sour finished coffees. Thank you for being available via the internet. Keep up the excellent gentle roasting.Comment on this review11/16/2007(2 of 2 customers found this review helpful) 5.0Peruvian is Perfect By Conniefrom Newville, PAAbout Me Frequent Diner, Love A Good CupProsRefreshingSmooth TasteConsNone whatsoeverBest UsesComments about Green Mountain Coffee 10oz FTO Peruvian Select EOL!:I am a member of the Cafe' Express and had ordered this coffee as one of many that I have tried. This coffee by far is one of the most intriquing coffees I have ever tasted. Out of all the Green Mountains Coffees I have tried, this coffee,the Guatelmalan Finca Dos Marias and the Nantucket are my favorites. My husband says the Pervuian is the most flavorful coffee he has tried and he has tried many. If you want a coffee that is so pleasant to drink, try this one. It's wonderful.Comment on this review11/1/2007(2 of 2 customers found this review helpful) 5.0Our Absolute Favorite Coffee !
