This coffee comes from Rainforest Trading, a Peruvian company that has united 34 cooperatives and associations spread across 8 different coffee-producing regions, representing over 7,000 producers.
Farmers typically process their coffee using the washed method on their own farms and then dry it on special drying beds. After this stage, they sell their coffee to the cooperatives. Alternatively, the drying process can be centralized and organized at the cooperative premises.
The coffee producers working with Rainforest Trading use only organic fertilizers. Typically, coffee trees occupy 40-50% of the land, while there are an average of at least 12 different types of local trees per hectare.
