This coffee is a regional select consisting of the crops from various smallholder farms in the Cajamarca region of Peru. Brewed up it's a sweet, easy-drinking cup with notes of toffee, malt, and chocolate.

Cajamarca is a semi-dry, semi-cold, tropical highland of Peru with very fertile soil at high Andean mountain elevations. The main varieties of coffee in the region include Catimor, Caturra, Bourbon, and Typica. Many farmers in the area grow small 2-3 hectare (~5-7.5 acre) farms and have historically worked independently but a recent growth in cooperatives has helped to increase the quality of coffees produced in the area.
