Peru is the world’s leading producer of organic coffee. Though coffee arrived in Peru relatively early—in the middle of the 1700s—it wasn’t cultivated for commercial export until nearly the 20th century, with increased demand from Europe and the significant decrease in coffee production in Indonesia.

As of the 2010s, Peru is one of the top producers of Arabica coffee, often ranked fifth in world production and export of Arabica. The remoteness of the coffee farms and the incredibly small size of the average farm has prevented much of the single-farm differentiation that has allowed for microlot development and marketing in other growing regions, but as with everything else in specialty coffee, this is changing quickly as well. The country’s lush highlands and good heirloom varieties offer the potential for growers to beat the obstacles of limited infrastructure and market access, and as production increases, we are more likely to see those types of advancements.

These beans are produced by the Aprocoyce Cooperative found in the Amazonas region of northern Peru. The Aprocoyce Cooperative is comprised of more than 280 small coffee farmers. This coffee is certified as Fairtrade, Organic and Rain Forest Alliance

Cup Characteristics: Medium body, slightly sweet with mild acidity. Clean with well structured body. Ripe berry, grape, tropical flavors.

Belfast Coffee Roasters started on the back of a business relationship in 2017. In April 2018 we started roasting coffee in the original industrial heartland of Belfast. We are based in what was originally the Soho Foundry in Townsend Street, Belfast. This industrial area of Belfast was the reason why the population of the city went from 20,000 to 200,000 in the 19th Century.

We were not coffee roasters by trade,  but had a focus to learn and grow not just our own coffee knowledge but also the greater coffee community.

As a small batch coffee roaster we are able to adapt our offering to our customer base large and small.

Everything we do is based on our relationships with our coffee farming partners. We work as hard as we can to create transparent trading opportunities to enable sustainable, long-term and ethical relationships.

We roast in small batches to deliver the distinct flavours in each coffee. We strive to produce high quality, freshly roasted coffee beans.
