1936 BIO - Peru Las Prosperidad de Chirinos

1936 refers to the year our roasting company was founded and serves as a perfect introduction to our specialty coffee range.

Our coffees with the "1936" label represent our vision of a classic and accessible espresso. For the sake of quality and consistency, we select coffee from a single farm or cooperative.

We recommend this coffee for extraction methods such as espresso, Turkish coffee, or Moka pot. Its medium roast ensures a stable and balanced extraction with these techniques. While it can also be enjoyed with gentle methods (filter, French press, Chemex...), we generally suggest opting for one of our seasonal coffees for a more subtle and refined experience with these preparations.

Located between 1,200 and 1,900 meters above sea level in Peru near San Ignacio, the Prosperidad de Chirinos cooperative has implemented the "Cosecha de Mujer" program to address gender inequalities. The program focuses on training in leadership, agriculture, coffee quality improvement, and small business management. It also includes support for food self-sufficiency.

The name "Cosecha de Mujer" highlights the vital contributions of women both on the farm and at home, with a $7.50 premium per sack of coffee to support this initiative.

Founded in 1968, the cooperative has 817 members, a quarter of whom are women, and cultivates approximately 2,200 hectares in San Ignacio, an area well-suited for growing high-quality coffee.

This washed lot, made up of diverse varieties, offers cups with notes of hazelnut, dark chocolate, and apple.
