Peru Coffee | Single-Origin South American Coffee Beans – Wags & Whiskers Coffee Co.

Where the Andes Meet the Amazon. And Magic Happens.

Northern Peru is one of the world's great undiscovered coffee regions — a place where the Andes highlands tumble down toward the Amazon basin, where cloud forests cling to volcanic slopes, and where smallholder farming families have been cultivating exceptional coffee for generations. This is their coffee. Grown at altitude, washed in natural gully water, dried under the Andean sun, and roasted to a smooth medium that lets the terroir speak for itself.

Salted caramel warmth. Silky sweetness. A bright citrus lift. This is Peru at its finest.

What's Inside

• Five Heritage Varieties — 100% Single-Origin Arabica:
  • Caturra (~30%) — a natural Bourbon mutation prized for its bright, clean sweetness, lively acidity, and consistent quality at high altitudes; one of the most celebrated varieties in Latin American specialty coffee
  • Bourbon (~25%) — one of the world's most revered heirloom Arabica varieties; rich, complex, and naturally sweet with a full, rounded body and the wine-like elegance that makes it the variety of choice for the world's finest roasters
  • Catuai (~20%) — a productive Mundo Novo × Caturra hybrid known for its clean, balanced cup, mild fruit notes, and reliable quality across varying conditions
  • Pache (~15%) — a rare natural Typica mutation found almost exclusively in Central and South America; low-growing, shade-tolerant, and prized for its smooth, mild sweetness and clean cup
  • Catimor (~10%) — a disease-resistant hybrid that adds body, consistency, and structural reliability to the blend, ensuring a full, satisfying cup in every bag
• Gully Washed Processing — harvested cherries are washed clean in natural gully water channels fed by Andean mountain streams — an environmentally sustainable process that uses the region's natural water resources to remove the fruit pulp and produce a clean, clear flavor profile
• Sun Dried on Raised Beds — after washing, the beans are laid out to dry slowly under the open Andean sky, allowing the natural warmth and airflow of the highlands to bring the beans to perfect moisture content while preserving their delicate sweetness and clarity

Origin Details

• 🌍 Grower: Cooperativa Agrícola de Servicios Norandino — a farmer-owned cooperative supporting hundreds of smallholder families across northern Peru with fair trade practices, technical training, organic certification support, and direct market access. When you buy this coffee, you're investing directly in the farming communities who grew it.
• 📍 Region: Piura & Amazonas, Peru — two of Peru's most celebrated and climatically distinct coffee-growing regions; Piura in the dry northern highlands and Amazonas in the lush cloud forests of the Amazon watershed, together producing a cup of remarkable balance and complexity
• ⛰️ Altitude: 1,100–1,700 meters above sea level — the high elevation slows cherry development dramatically, concentrating natural sugars and producing the silky sweetness, balanced acidity, and complex flavor profile that defines great Peruvian coffee
• 🪨 Soil: Clay Minerals — mineral-rich clay soils that retain moisture and deliver a steady supply of nutrients, contributing to the coffee's full body, clean sweetness, and complex flavor development
• 💧 Process: Gully Washed & Sun Dried — a sustainable, traditional process that produces exceptional clarity and natural sweetness
