Coffee Peru, Estrella Divina

This coffee originates from a community project of Origin Coffee Lab. Origin Coffee Lab focuses on coffee quality. Not only the qulaity of this years harvest, but also the harvest of the future. For example, there is a big trend in Peru to grow Gesha plants on farms. This coffee plant is known for its complex taste, which means that a higher price can be asked for it. However, there is a big chance that this variety is not resistant to the changing climate. As a result, there is a chance that parts of farms with a bad coffee season will no longer produce. With the result that farmers will go bankrupt. Origin Coffee Lab provides information on these kinds of issues, but also advice on which varieties are future-proof. And having a good taste profile. Thinking about sustainable coffee production in the future, we can only applaud. That is why we also like to buy this coffee.

Projects like these are always very important for the quality in the region. At the moment, coffees from 72 families are blended into “Estrella Divina”. With the right knowledge and contacts, some farmers can develop into a “micro-lot worthy producer”. This means that the quality is as high that a farmer can sell the coffee himself (or via Origin Coffee Lab). Or with small quantities, the coffee can be mixed into a higher quality community blend. A higher price is always paid for a higher quality. For farmers, this is often an accessible way to get in touch with the specialty market. Even if they do not have a very large harvest, but do have a high quality. As far as we are concerned, therefore also indispensable in the market, and in our collection.
