Peru - Chorro Blanco

"Chorro Blanco" is just a descriptive local name used by coffee farmers to refer to a specific micro-region where coffee is cultivated. The imagery created is of a nice clear or white stream in that area. This lot is a blend of coffees from various smallholders across the region. The average farm size amongst these producers is 1.ha. Most of these producers dry their coffee on plastic mats on the ground, much like patio drying. All component lots come from high altitude areas and the early harvest; processed and dried by the producers on their farms. Most smallholder farmers in northern Peru have their own hand pulpers and fermentation tanks to process coffee before patio or raised bed drying.
