Kirkland Signature Organic Peru Whole Bean Coffee, 2 lbs, 2-pack

The Asociación de Productores Cafetaleros Juan Marco “El Palto” (or JUMARP) is located in the Amazonian Andes of northern Peru. Although coffee was introduced to the region in the 1950’s, production practices then relied heavily on agrochemicals. The organization was formed by 35 small farmers in 2003 to ensure a sustainable livelihood through coffee production and commercialization in harmony with the rain forest. They soon realized coffee exports could also be a vehicle to promote ethical behavior and community development. JUMARP has focused on improving the quality of life in their community by educating members and promoting the sustainable use of resources. Today, JUMARP consists of 188 active members, all of whom produce organic certified coffees. Features: (2) 907 g bags Whole Bean Certifications: USDA Organic Roast Level: Medium
