Peru Las Delicias Washed Process

Region: Las Delicias, Jaen, Cajamarca, Peru

This coffee comes from the small hamlet of Las Delicias, Cajamarca, where altitudes average around 1700 meters above sea level.

This is a fully washed coffee, wet processed by the farmers at home. After pulping the cherries, the coffee is fermented for 24-36 hours to break down the sticky fruit mucilage that is then washed away before drying.

In this region, it takes roughly 3 weeks to dry wet process coffee to a stable moisture content of about 11%. Farmers then deliver their coffee in parchment to a warehouse in Cajamarca where it is graded and prepared for shipping.
