More Info

Some classic coffees don’t need to shout to stand out. Peru La Cima is one of them—quietly refined, deeply sweet, and built on the kind of consistency that only comes from care at every step.

Grown in the northern highlands of Cajamarca, across the provinces of San Ignacio, Jaén, and Cutervo, this coffee is a collective effort of smallholder farmers who are steadily redefining what Peruvian coffee can be.

Origin & People

This lot brings together coffees from multiple small-scale producers, each working small plots in high-altitude terrain. Varieties include Caturra, Catuai, Bourbon, Pache, and Catimor—a diverse mix that reflects both tradition and adaptation.

What sets La Cima apart is the commitment to improvement. Farmers here are supported with ongoing technical training, helping refine harvesting, processing, and overall quality. The result is a coffee that feels considered—built on knowledge, not guesswork.

Harvest & Processing

Everything starts with strict cherry selection. Only fully ripe cherries are picked, then floated and hand-sorted to remove defects. From there, the process is classic washed—but executed with precision:

• Depulped shortly after harvest 
• Fermented for 30–40 hours, carefully controlled to develop clarity and sweetness 
• Fully washed to remove all mucilage 
• Dried for 16–20 days under controlled conditions until optimal moisture is reached 

It’s a process that doesn’t overcomplicate—but doesn’t cut corners either.

In This Cup

La Cima is all about balance. Medium body, gentle acidity, and a smooth, structured sweetness that carries through the entire cup. It’s approachable, but far from simple. This is the kind of coffee that works every day—and still holds your attention.

Why We Like It

At Society Coffee Roasters, we value coffees that are built on consistency and intention. Peru La Cima is exactly that. It’s not chasing extremes. It’s not over-processed. It’s just well-grown, well-handled coffee that delivers—cup after cup. And behind it is a network of farmers investing in quality, step by step.

Brewing

This is a versatile coffee:

• Filter – clean, sweet, easy drinking 
• Espresso – balanced, chocolate-forward with soft acidity 
• Batch brew – dependable and crowd-friendly 

Peru La Cima is proof that great coffee doesn’t have to be complicated. Just honest, well-crafted, and quietly excellent.
