COFFEE PROFILE
Full City:
  Very bright aroma and acidity. There is a rich buttery quality to this coffee that is unsurpassed. Complex lingering finish hints at lemon zest and caramel.

French Roast:
Very rich and dense with cocoa and spice. The dark roast offers up a welcomed tartness to this bottom heavy coffee in the way of deep caramelized sugar a´la crème brûlée.

GEOGRAPHIC PROFILE
CENFROCAFE spans the lush provinces of Jaen and San Ignacio in northern Peru. The cooperative was founded in 1999 with 220 small-scale coffee farmers in eleven community-based associations. Nearly ten years after their founding, CENFROCAFE serves approximately 2,000 farmers in over 80 organizations located in twelve districts within the region of Cajamarca. They have an average yield for their organic production of about 15 quintal (100 lbs of parchment) per hectare and growing altitudes ranging from 1,300 to 2,000 meters.
From technical assistance and quality control workshops for their farmers to economic and leadership training for the young people in their rural communities, CENFROCAFE works not only to support the commercial endeavors of its members but also to facilitate the development of the community. They provide loans that help farmers cover the costs of the harvest and materials in the coffee production as well as the costs of sending their children to school. CENFROCAFE provided important services to thousands of small-scale farmers (members and non-members alike) in Northern Peru, who without a strong organization would have otherwise been abandoned without access to even the most basic health, education, and other social services.

CENFROCAFE founding member and former president of the producer Board of Directors, Anselmo Huaman Moreto explains, “A huge difference in our lives is that now our children can actually go to school, our coffee is being recognized in the market for the quality we produce, and our members can be proud again to be farmers.”
