Peru Flor de Selva comes from the Aproeco cooperative in the department of San Martin in the upper part of the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. The cooperative was founded by smallholder farmers in 2008 and now has 369 farmer members, with 270 of them certified as organic coffee producers. Aproeco has continually innovated their quality control program since its founding and each individual lot delivered to the cooperative is meticulously cupped by their talented cupping team. Their thorough QC protocols have allowed Aproeco to consistently find exciting new coffees of exceptional quality from farms throughout the virgin rainforest of San Martin and the Amazon.
Impact:
Aproeco runs a number of different projects and initiatives for its members, from training workshops led by expert agricultural technicians, to compost management, to sponsoring university scholarships for their members’ children.

Flavor Info
The Peru Flor de Selva has layered sweetness, a silky body and balanced acidity. On the lighter end of the roast spectrum you’ll taste notes of milk chocolate, grapefruit, caramel and sweet cream. Darker roasts pull out notes of toasted walnut, bittersweet chocolate, and toffee. We think this is an excellent coffee for batch brew or pour over.
