Spring in Montreal is chaos. This coffee gets it.
Grown high in the Peruvian Andes, where cold and damp conditions are part of daily life, this lot comes from producer Felipe Estela, one of the first in his area to step into coffee production. His focus? Quality, reliability, and doing things right – every season.
This washed Typica and Bourbon blend is sweet and steady, with notes of sponge toffee, ground cherry, and canned pear. It starts cozy, finishes clean, and keeps you coming back for another sip.
Peru’s coffee history is layered, shaped by colonialism, politics, and constant change. From its introduction by Jesuit missionaries to shifting systems of production and export, the industry has endured through it all. Our partnership with Crop to Cup helps ensure the farmers we work with are paid fairly and that labour is treated ethically. Because great coffee tastes even better when it’s rooted in care and respect.

Peru remains both promising and precarious: a country of immense quality potential, structured around smallholders, but still without sufficient systems to bring the coffees forward. Crop to Cup’s work in Peru focuses on bridging that gap – creating direct connections between producers and quality-driven roasters to build the resilience and recognition that Peru’s coffee deserves. – Crop to Cup
