Factoid: CENFROCAFE is not only one of the largest and strongest cooperatives in Peru, it's also one of the most organized, and producing the best quality coffee year in and year out. They have programs in place to increase production by providing organic fertilizers and in monitoring plant health on farms, which is very important with the prevalence of coffee-leaf rust in recent years.
CENFROCAFE as a group produces about 120,000 quintales of coffee each year (1 quintal = about 100 kilograms), which makes it one of the leading cooperatives in the country in terms of volume, as well. The members' average production per hectare is about 22 quintales, which is relatively high for organic coffees. The co-op is also one of the top exporters in Peru, a country otherwise known for its more commercial-grade coffees. The group's coffees have regularly placed in the top in national competitions, and not only do they produce solid-performing full-container lots, they also have fantastic microlot potential with individual farmers focusing on varieties and processing more and more.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Do you flavor your coffee?
We don’t offer flavored coffees, but our specialty-grade coffees naturally exhibit diverse flavors influenced by origin, variety, soil, climate, elevation, and processing. Like wine, each coffee’s unique notes—sweetness, acidity, and mouthfeel—are detailed on its tag. Brewing methods also affect flavor: cold brew enhances chocolate notes, while pour-over highlights floral and citrus tones. Experiment to find your favorite brew.
How much caffeine is in your coffee?
Caffeine content is reliant largely on bean variety, roast profile, and extraction method. The darker the roast, the less caffeine. The more water used per unit of coffee, the more caffeine is extracted. Roughly speaking, an 8-ounce cup of coffee will have somewhere between 85 and 105 mg of caffeine.
What is Cold Brew and Nitro Brew?
Cold brew is a method of brewing coffee using cold or room temperature water. You can use any bean to make cold brew.
“Nitro” cold brew is nitrogen-infused cold brewed coffee. We follow the same recipe as our traditional “still” cold brew, and then pressurize the keg with nitrogen to give the coffee a smooth effervescence that pours with a dense frothy head reminiscent of a Guinness draft beer. It is non-alcoholic and has about the same caffeine content as still cold brew.
