Peru SHB

Peru SHB Organic Fair Trade comes to us from central Peru, specifically the Chanchamayo region. The coffee is produced by local smallholder farmers who deliver their harvested cherry to central mills for further processing and sale. Part of this process includes the use of machines to sort out any defects and perform a “cleaning” process; this Machine Cleaned Mejorado process provides a more consistent final product. The SHB distinction is for Strictly Hard Bean coffees; those grown at altitudes of over 1,200 meters above sea level. Strictly Hard Bean coffees are also synonymous with SHG or High Grow lots.
