Peru Chanchamayo

Peruvian Coffee Beans from Chanchamayo

In the Quechua language of the Peruvian Andes, Minca refers to a special camaraderie between farmers. During non-harvest periods, groups of neighbors travel from farm to farm, working together on what needs to be done. Then they move on to the next farm until everyone’s needs are met. This idea of caring for the whole – this social bond – is known as Minca.

The Central Highlands of Chanchamayo are spread across 1500 to 2400masl and are part of the larger region of Junin. The fruit-forward coffees that grow here are filled with notes of cacao nibs, walnuts, roasted almonds, a creamy body, and good balance.
