The Norcafé cooperative was formed in 2015 by a group of university students from coffee producing families with a goal to promote continuous improvement of quality and to create opportunities for smallholder coffee growers. The co-op began with 100 member families, and has since grown to include 334 men and 145 women producers working on nearly 1200 hectares of land throughout the Amazonas and Cajamarca coffee regions. Member producers have already shown great dedication and skill in producing high quality lots, which is also demonstrated with four individual member producers earning a place in Peru’s Cup of Excellence between 2018 and 2020.

This certified Organic Cerro Azul underwent Washed processing. Cherries were handpicked to ensure ripeness before being pulped on the day of harvest. The pulped coffee was fermented for 48 hours before being washed. The washed coffee was dried for approximately 16 days in solar dryers.
