About This Coffee
Aromas del Valle stands out with a bright and refined cup. Notes of mandarin and lemon awaken the palate. As it cools the smooth sweetness of shortbread and dried apple appear, with floral notes of jasmine and coffee blossom that shine through and add complexity. Cooperativa Agraria Aromas del Valle is a farming cooperative focused on producing the finest Peruvian coffee. With 283 producers, farms are normally around 1-3 hectares and family-run. Despite the ideal natural environment, in the past many smaller coffee producers in Peru lacked the infrastructure to make the most of their terroir. Aromas del Valle is on a mission to change that: They offer technical support and create economic sustainability by introducing higher standards, whilst giving access to the international speciality market. Being part of Aromas del Valle, farmers are able to invest in their production and create microlots or improved community blends. The cooperative is committed to the environment: respecting the harmony of ecosystems and maintaining organic farming techniques from generation to generation. Projects are in place that transition the coffee value chain to a more sustainable model to benefit the coffee producers. Quality improvements are made through technical assistance, organic fertilisation, post-harvest training and supply chain infrastructure.
