Parallel Coffee’s new roast comes from the mountainous landscape of Peru’s northern highlands. Cafe Selva Norte is part of the Urapi Fund’s environmental initiative and works with coffee growing communities and cooperatives across Cajamarca, Amazonas and San Martin to support and represent farmers in the supply chain while also fighting land degradation.

Each lot is selectively harvested then processed and combined at Café Selva Norte’s state of the art milling facility to create cohesive and balanced community blends. This washed process coffee was pulped within 24 hours of harvest then fermented in tanks with water for 12 to 48 hours to naturally break down the mucilage. The coffee was then washed thoroughly with fresh water to remove any residue and dried on raised beds.

Throughout the whole process, Cafe Selva Norte’s aim is to create great tasting Peruvian coffee from the origin’s most represented varieties to show off the incredible quality of coffee from this region and build a resilient industry. This one gives us classic Peru flavour, with brown sugar sweetness, milk chocolate body and a welcome hint of citrus acidity.
