WHAT'S BEHIND THIS COFFEE
Cajamarca is a region of Peru in the northwestern part of the country. Its largest coffee-growing provinces are Jaen and San Ignacio, where the varieties typica, caturra and bourbon are normally cultivated.
Cajamarca, due to its altitude, is located in the Quechua region (between 2,300-3,500m above sea level), which determines that its climate is temperate, dry, sunny during the day, but cold at night. Its average annual temperature is 15.6 °C, with a rainy season from December to March. However, some cities have tropical climates in its different regions. Furthermore, its proximity to both the coast and the jungle, not to mention its proximity to the Equatorial Line, make Cajamarca have the best climate of the departments of the Peruvian Highlands.
VARIETY AND PROCESS
The process of this coffee is washed, which consists of completely removing the mucilage from the bean, and leaving it to ferment in water tanks for 12-18 hours before leaving it to dry in the sun.
