Peru

Where we source our coffee (the Centrocafe cooperative) doesn’t just focus on coffee production, it also provides economic and youth leadership training, along with financial support to help farmers send their children to school. Coffee is grown on small 3–5 hectare farms, and farmers use careful, water minimising techniques during the washing process. De-pulping is intentionally delayed to preserve bean quality, showing a commitment to both sustainability and craftsmanship. Grown at high altitudes (1350–2000 masl) in Cajamarca and Amazonas, this arabica coffee benefits from the region’s diverse microclimates, which contribute to flavour notes beyond the typical caramel and cacao... like dark fruits and a rich, sweet body.

Vietnam

Coffee changed their economy. Vietnam's coffee sector was central to its economic transformation (late 1980-2010s) helping lift the country out of poverty. As the world’s top robusta producer, it plays a major role in supplying global commercial coffee markets, including decaf production. Robusta’s naturally high caffeine content makes it a common choice for decaffeination. They’ve also shifted from quantity to quality. The main variety, Catimor, offers high yields and disease resistance but is not typically known for great cup quality... but now, more producers are exploring better-tasting varieties and implementing selective harvesting and improved processing techniques to enhance cup character and increase value! Vietnamese producers are embracing experimental fermentation methods - including yeast, enzyme, and anaerobic fermentation, especially on microlots. Though still emerging, these innovations show Vietnam’s growing ambition in the specialty coffee space, aiming to elevate both quality and value for farmers and exporters.

brazil

Coffee was introduced to Brazil in the 18th century and by 1820, it had surpassed sugar cane as the country’s main export. Today, Brazil is the largest coffee-producing country in the world, contributing over 30% of global coffee production! We use “Brazil Santos” which is a terms used for high grade, high-quality arabica beans: “Santos” refers to the port of Santos, Brazil’s main coffee export hub. Usually "Fine Cup" grade is sourced from various regions in Brazil. Brazil Santos is valued for its soft, nutty, cocoa, chocolate, and dried fruit notes and it can be found in our Peace and Power bags!
