Founded in 1969, Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Jose Gabriel Condorcanqui, or Coop. J.G. Condorcanqui, is one of the oldest cooperatives in the Canchaque region of Northern Piura, Peru. It is named after an indigenous hero, who in 1780, aware of dissatisfaction with colonial rule, led a rebellion to improve the rights of indigenous Peruvians suffering under the Spanish Bourbon Reforms.
Since 2012, Cooperative Coffees has been working with Norandino to revive the traditional natural process coffees of the Canchaque region. Norandino and Coop Condorcanqui saw the first successful fruits of their labour during the 2012 harvest, when the farmers around Coyona produced three small-lots of natural process coffee!
This is a super approachable natural coffee with notes of red grape and orange blossom.
