This one in specific was grown by Aladino Delgado Pérez and his son Aladino Urbano Delgado Burga. Situated at 2100 masl, this region is known for the Corcovado mountain, an 'apu' or guardian, which contributes to the ecological stability of the area. Farmers primarily grow Caturra, Catuai, and Bourbon varietals. The coffee undergoes a washed process with 12-18 hour fermentation in cement tanks, followed by sundrying on solar dryers for 1520 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the land of the Incas, a country steeped in rich pre-colonial history and a turbulent past. From the Andean mountains to the Amazon basin jungle to the desert and Pacific coastline, coffee has been grown throughout Peru since the 1700's, including the Machu Pichu region. But Peru's variable climate, lack of good transport and somewhat primitive agricultural economy have stymied Peru, currently the ninth largest producer of coffee in the world but only the third largest exporter in South America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLife isn't easy for most coffee farmers in Peru. The average farmers' landholdings are small - two or three hectares - and the typical wet-milling operation even smaller. Arabica coffee cherries are painstakingly picked by hand, processed and dried in the sun. To sell their crop, many of these farmers hike their beans by foot or mule to the nearest town to sell at market. But if there aren't enough buyers, then lack of competition forces coffee prices down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThings have changed in recent years, particularly when Peru discovered that organic coffee can fetch a higher price, leading to more organic farms and more fair trade networks linked with Peru's smallholder cooperatives. Today, Peru is known as one of the major producers of organic and fair trade coffee in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics of Peruvian Coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor all of its organic and fair trade plaudits, Peruvian coffee isn't the most highly regarded coffee in the world. Cynics argue that Peru's discovery of organic has been focused on quantity, not quality, driving down the price of organic coffee and making it difficult for smaller growers who DO produce quality beans to compete in the market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, Peru is a varied landscape and so too are its coffees. And hidden amongst those average beans you can find some great ones with body, brightness and amazing depth of flavour. For example, the Chanchamayo is considered the top region for best quality Peruvian coffee, but there are also some good beans that come out of Norte and Cuzco, as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeruvian Coffee: Interesting Facts and News Bites\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere are over 110,000 coffee growers in Peru with an average land-holding farm of about two to three acres. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlobal warming is a current major threat to Peru's coffee trade, with Peru rated amongst the top three nations likely to be most affected by climate change, a condition that's already seen an impact on coffee production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoffee harvested from dung?
