For almost a decade, Brooklyn Roasting Company has purchased fair trade certified green coffee from the Sol Y Cafe cooperative in the foothills of the Andes in northern Peru. This highly respected cooperative’s commitment to quality control and improved community standards of living comes across loud and clear. Sol y Café members regularly win quality competitions within Peru and abroad. In the cup, this medium plus roast is balanced and sweet with a hint of toasted walnut and burnt cookie in the flavor and finish.
