San Fernando Cedrobamba Washed
Candied Almond, Orange, Black Tea
Aromas of peach, caramel, and candied almond introduce this crisp Peruvian coffee. We tasted orange, milk chocolate, plum, and more candied almond in the cup. A soft pear-like sweetness rises in the finish, alongside notes of black tea, clove, and semi-sweet chocolate.

This unique high-altitude lot consists of Gesha, Catimor, and Caturra grown by 14 smallholders belonging to Cooperativa San Fernando, a new partner of Crop to Cup Coffee Importers:
“Based just west of Machu Picchu, San Fernando began in 2001 with 70 members, and by 2004 had established a commercial relationship with Equal Exchange that continues today. Through the 2010s, the group grew in size and capacity, achieving international certifications and eventually separating from COCLA (a large regional union of cooperatives based in Quilabamba that had dominated Cusco’s coffee trade for decades). By 2020, alliances with NGOs and lenders such as Agriterra, Root Capital, Shared Interest, and Progreso helped strengthen San Fernando’s financial and technical foundation.
"Now with over 450 members, San Fernando operates as a mature and transparent organization with strong governance, agro-ecological commitments, and a deliberate emphasis on equality and Indigenous identity. Its cupping lab supports feedback and lot separation, and the coop currently exports both 85-point community blends and 86.5+ microlots.”
