APROCASSI

Cajamarca is a northern department of Peru that is part of the Andes Mountain Range and has a portion of its territory in the Amazon Rainforest. It also shares a border with Ecuador.

This coffee is sourced from various farmers of the APROCASSI Coop in San Ignacio, Cajamarca. The association was formed over twenty years ago in 2000, originally as an effort to protest the mining companies who were flocking to the area to harvest precious metals. Set on protecting their farming land, a small group of farmers banded together and formed an association which they named APROCASSI (Asociación de Productores Cafetaleros Solidarios de San Ignacio).

APROCASSI is focused on selling certified coffees. Of the seventy total containers they plan to sell this year, 70% of those hold FTO certification. One of the main goals of the cooperative this year is increased production. Most producers are averaging about 18 qq of parchment/hectare, and they’d like to increase yields to 25 qq/hectare. They hope to achieve this through better fertilization techniques as well as having the agricultural technicians spend more time with producer members in the field providing assistance. Additionally, the association is very focused on diversification of products, such as honey, cocoa and pisciculture.

The resulting cup reminds us of dark chocolate & hazelnut.
