Winter Feature Farm

$14.99/lb.

This weekend we bring back our Winter Feature Farm, Valle del Santuario in San Ignacio, Peru. Its actually a cooperative of small farms in a very remote part of Peru. It takes many hours to arrive, for a detailed trip report see our Seasonal Feature Farm board in the store for Kim Elena Bullock's latest trip to San Ignacio. Let's just say that it is so remote that the valley in which the farms are located has no name. But that doesn't stop the farmers of Valle del Santuario from pouring their heart and soul into growing this delicious organic coffee. We've been carrying the decaf version of this coffee for a while, and now its time to showcase the new crop direct from Peru.

The Coffee... The coffees of Valle del Santuario are extraordinarily crafted Peruvian coffees. The high altitude creates coffees of incredible clarity and flavor, and the heirloom Typica variety grown in this region produces sweet, complex, cherry-almond scented, and chocolate-like coffees. These farmers have done extraordinary work, and the resulting coffee is extraordinary, too.
