Five Ways Coffee Roasters
Peru - El Palto - Washed
A staple in our core espresso range, cleaner and more vibrant than a Brazil offering.The Asociación de Productores Cafetaleros Juan Marco "El Palto," abbreviated as JUMARP, was established in 2003 by José Carranza Barboza along with 35 fellow smallholder farmers. This initiative emerged from a vision to establish an innovative model centered around producers for the cultivation and exportation of coffee.
All 188 members of the cooperative produce certified organic and Fairtrade coffee. They invest the premiums from these certifications in community projects like crop renovations, education funds, and school construction. We're proud to support their carbon capture agroforestry project, collaborating with three other cooperatives and Café Selva Norte. JUMARP members employ sustainable agroforestry techniques to enhance coffee quality and yield while preserving the environment. Their quality improvement program began in 2012 and concluded in 2021. Funding from Fairtrade, Organic premiums, government sources, and member contributions helped raise overall cup scores to 83-84. This involved building drying houses, pulpers, and fermentation tanks at all member farms, and encouraging the planting of higher quality coffee varieties. In Peru, most smallholder producers use a household-based production model with small farms where families work together during harvest, from pruning to weeding. Coffee is selectively handpicked, often involving the entire family or local day laborers for larger farms. After harvesting, cherries are sorted by hand to remove damaged or under ripe ones. They are pulped using mechanical or manual drum pulpers located on the farm. The pulped coffee is fermented in tanks for 18 to 40 hours, depending on altitude. After fermentation, parchment is washed and dried using various methods like covered raised beds or solar drying rooms. Parchment dries for about 20 days, with regular turning for even drying, regardless of the method used.

- Choose the right container: It's important to store your coffee beans in an airtight container. Look for a container made of a material that won't absorb odors, like glass or ceramic. Avoid using plastic containers, as they can impart a plastic-like taste to the coffee.
- Keep the container away from light: Coffee beans are sensitive to light, which can cause them to degrade more quickly. Store your coffee container in a dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard.
- Keep the container away from heat: Heat can also cause coffee beans to degrade. Avoid storing your coffee container near a heat source, such as a stove or oven.
- Store at room temperature: Coffee beans should be stored at room temperature, between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid storing coffee beans in the refrigerator or freezer, as moisture can cause them to spoil and lose their flavor.
- Use whole beans: It's best to store whole coffee beans rather than ground coffee. Ground coffee has a larger surface area, which makes it more vulnerable to oxidation and degradation.
- Avoid air exposure: Exposure to air can cause coffee beans to oxidize, which can lead to a stale or sour taste
