PERU CAJAMARCA WASHED GREEN

Peru Cajamarca Washed Green Coffee

Traceable Washed Arabica, Sold Green for Home Roasting

This is the green (unroasted) form of our Peru Cajamarca — washed Arabica from smallholder farms around Jaén in Peru's Cajamarca region, grown at 1,650–1,850 metres and scoring 84 SCA points. It's fully traceable back to source, with farmers paid on real cup scores rather than blind averages. Sold raw for home and small-batch roasters.

Roasted, this lot produces green apple, hazelnut and milk chocolate. We roast it light-medium ourselves — a good starting point if you're developing your own profile.

Quick Reference

Roasting This Coffee

We take this lot to light-medium to protect its apple acidity while still rounding out the hazelnut and chocolate notes underneath. It's a forgiving, well-balanced Arabica that works well as a first coffee to profile if you're newer to home roasting. Let beans rest for at least 24 hours after roasting before brewing.

Why This Coffee Stands Out

• 84-point cup score — genuine specialty grade
• Full traceability — sourced through Falcon's Blueprint Project, farmer to warehouse
• Transparent, cup-score-based pricing — farmers paid on quality, not blind averages
• Full control over the roast — sold green for home and small-batch roasters

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from light. Green coffee keeps well for up to 12 months, far longer than roasted coffee.
