Origin — Ceja de Selva, Peru

Peru’s coffee is grown predominantly along the eastern Andean slopes where the rainforest or selva alta creates a humid, mountain-influenced microclimate. This belt is known for abundant rainfall, cooler high-elevation mornings, and slower cherry development — all of which contribute to a balanced cup with good body and nuanced sweetness. The term Ceja de Selva specifically references the fertile mid-altitude cloudforest zone on the Andes’ eastern flank. It’s a landscape of steep ridges, deep valleys and rich biodiversity — conditions that favor shade-grown, high-quality Arabica coffee. Peruvian specialty coffee has grown in reputation thanks to careful cultivation at altitude, organic farming practices, and a focus on varietals like Bourbon, Caturra and Typica, which deliver clarity, body and sweetness in the cup.
