Journey to the high Andes with Peru "La Florida," a Fair Trade, chemical-free single origin coffee grown at 4000-5800 feet above sea level. Named after the La Florida cooperative that produces it, this coffee represents both exceptional quality and ethical sourcing—a true family favorite that showcases what Peruvian coffee can achieve.
The La Florida Story:Â
Grown by smallholder farmers in Peru's Chanchamayo region, La Florida cooperative focuses on sustainable practices and fair compensation. When you drink this coffee, you're supporting families who have grown coffee for generations.
High-Altitude Advantage:
-
Slow maturation = denser beans with concentrated flavor
- Cool temperature = natural sweetness development
- Rich volcanic soil = complex mineral notes
Tasting Notes from the Andes:Â
✅ Aroma: Milk chocolate and roasted nuts
✅ Flavor: Caramel, subtle citrus, hints of spice
✅ Body: Medium-full, velvety mouthfeel
✅ Finish: Clean with chocolate aftertaste
✅ Acidity: Bright but balanced (not sharp)
Roast Philosophy:
We take this beautiful bean to a medium-dark level—enough to develop chocolate and caramel notes but not so dark we lose its inherent brightness. Each batch is roasted with respect for the farmers' hard work.
