As part of the Peru 121 Project, this coffee comes certified Organic and Fairtrade as standard and is shade grown and fully washed in the artisanal way. Most of the coffee cherries are picked in August, when they are at their optimum level of maturation and sweetness.
The cherries are processed at the farm using a traditional method of fermentation tanks and eco pulpers. Typically, the cherries are picked in the morning and processed (de-pulped and washed) the same day, usually in the late afternoon. This is to avoid any deterioration of the quality of the coffee beans.
