Pasco Coffee

Fruity Harmony from Villa Rica

Pasco’s Villa Rica district, at 900-2,000 meters in central Peru, yields premium coffees amid lush jungles. Volcanic soils and microclimates create fruity blends; CUNAVIR cooperative supports producers with organics and fair trade, enhancing quality and sustainability.

Notes include caramel, chocolate, soft fruit, floral aromas, citrus, and low acidity for smooth sipping. High antioxidants from shade-grown methods promote wellness; eco-practices protect ecosystems.

Pasco’s isolation ensures pure, high-scoring beans, often Geisha varieties with savory chocolate. Co-ops drive community benefits like clinics. This region’s harmony offers versatile brews celebrating Peru’s central charm.

Villa Rica’s Yanesha coffees add bright acidity and hints of chocolate, ideal for medium roasts. Unique low production due to climate fosters exclusivity, with washed processing yielding clean cups. Health advantages include digestive support; fair trade uplifts indigenous groups. As part of Peru’s 27% output share, Pasco exemplifies quality over quantity. Immersive tours blend nature with flavor, highlighting resilient farming amid challenges.
