Chontali, Peru - Medium

Grown high in the Peruvian mountains and roasted just right, Chontali is here to brighten your mornings. Enjoy this smooth cup of coffee!

Chontalí in Jaén, Cajamarca, is a highland area where small farmers grow coffee at an altitude of 1600–2000 meters in steep ridges and humid valleys. Classic varieties such as Caturra, Bourbon and Typica dominate, and the washed process is most common. The area's tropical climate, with a rainy season around March and drier months from May to October, creates good conditions for even drying and clean profiles in the cup. The coffee is delivered daily in small batches to Jaén, where each delivery is analyzed and cupped. Fast evaluation and payment ensure that quality is in focus and strengthen the conditions for producers.

After hand-picking, farmers wash and peel the coffee berries and let them ferment for 48 hours. Drying takes place according to each producer's capacity – either in sun tents for two weeks or on tarpaulins in the sun for about a week.
