Peru SMBC La Florida Organic

An epic history of coffee culture you will want to drink to. It starts with a cooperative called Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera La Florida established in 1966 in the province of Chanchamayo. La Florida was one of the very first coffee cooperatives formed in the 1960s because individual farmers could not negotiate fair prices from the local coffee buyers. By the 1990s, La Florida would evolve from negotiating better prices with local buyers to selling coffee directly to international buyers. The cooperative used premiums to address the social needs of farmers in the rugged coffeelands with investments in electricity, roads, schools, and hospitals. And then all of their success was nearly erased with a decade of political violence.Central American coffees may use the term EP (European Prep) to indicate screen size (15-18), in addition to SHB (Strictly Hard Bean), SHG (Strictly High Grown), or HG (High Grown) to refer to the highest grade of coffee based solely on elevation.

This buttery coffee shows notes of caramel, with hints of lemon and green apple. Mild acidity. Also available in Dark Roast.
