LightAbout this Coffee
Our London Fields Range is a range of ethically sourced coffees from distinctive growing regions around the world. Each coffee brings an individuality and uniqueness that is truly representative of their natural origins flavours and aromas. Our Peruvian Espresso is meticulously small batched roasted and given time for the heavy body and rich caramelized flavours to develop.
This specialty single origin Arabica coffee is grown on the steep slopes of the Andes by The Chirinos co-operative , one of our favourite producers at London Fields Roastery. The high altitude and fertile volcanic soils has enabled Chirinos to produce amazing coffee consistently for over 50 years and its 815 members are committed and focussed on producing Fairtrade, 100% organic coffee, something that is very important to the ethos of Cafedirect.
The Chirinos co-op is also part of Producers Direct centre of excellence, which allows the farmers to teach their most eco-friendly and sustainable practices on to other farmers, thus increasing yields and quality of organic coffees for the whole region. The co-op has also installed a youth committee, to encourage youngsters to get involved with farming from an early age. Also, there’s a driving hope that farming will soon be more entrepreneurial-based, rather than the traditional, old model of farming.
