Jaguar Espresso Fair Trade Organic

A fully washed coffee from Latin America is the foundation of Jaguar Espresso. Like most agricultural products, coffee is seasonal, so throughout the crop year the origin country changes to ensure freshness but, we always source coffees that provide clarity and sweetness. For complexity we add natural processed coffees from Colombia and Ethiopia, which add flavors of berries and bittersweet chocolate. A wet-hulled coffee produced by the Ketiara Cooperative in Sumatra’s Gayo Mountain region rounds out the blend. Ketiara is a women-led group that is committed to producing high quality coffee and empowering women of the local community. This coffee’s classic Sumatran character perfectly complements the blend’s other components by adding body and flavors of spice, resulting in a rich, full-flavored espresso.

This coffee was produced by members of La Prosperidad de Chirinos, a coffee grower’s cooperative located in northern Peru’s San Ignacio province, within the Cajamarca growing region. Cajamarca, which extends to the Ecuador border, is situated in the Andes mountains, the longest mountain range in the world. Since being founded in 1968, Chirinos has grown from 36 to over 700 members, some of whom have been a part of the organization since its inception.

The group aims to improve the quality of life for its members through education, sustainability initiatives, and food security programs, as well as the diversification of their lands.

All of Jaguar Espresso’s components are both Fair Trade and Organic certified.
