Peru is one of the ten most biodiverse countries in the world, with its territory featuring 39 unique ecosystems.

“OUR UNIQUE SPECIALTIES FROM UNIQUE HANDS”

In Peru, most coffee crops have been passed down from generation to generation, a heritage that over time has turned into stories of overcoming challenges and hope. A prime example of this is the winners of the Cup of Excellence competition. Today, Peruvian coffee growers, both men and women, view this agricultural activity not only as a source of economic income but also as an opportunity for social development. This is due to the technification and professionalization that the coffee sector demands according to new trends.
