Peruvian coffee regions and flavor profiles
Peru grows Arabica across the eastern Andes and Amazonian slopes, from the north through the centre to the south. Each region brings distinct character to the cup.
Central Peru — Junín and surrounding areas
Junín is one of Peru's largest coffee departments, producing washed Arabica at high altitude. Cups tend toward chocolate, nut and medium acidity — popular for commercial and SHB specialty programs.
Southern Peru — Cusco
Cusco coffees often show bright acidity, floral notes and good body at elevation. Ideal for Special Grade 1 and single-origin offerings.
Northern Peru — Amazonas and San Martín
Northern regions produce accessible commercial and specialty coffees, with many farms participating in certified programs.
HVC operates dry mills in the north, centre (Lima and Junín) and south (Quillabamba), sourcing across these regions. Learn about our origins or request regional pricing.
