Peruvian coffee producers with smallholdings within the unique microclimates of Chanchamayo, Cajamarca, and San Martín, have long eschewed synthetic chemicals in favour of traditional, canopy-grown farming. By formalising strict organic certification, local cooperatives bypass the commodity market to secure higher price premiums. Every Arabica tree grown not only protects the delicate biodiversity of the Andean ecosystem but directly funds the infrastructure and livelihoods of the communities who cultivate it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFounded to give local coffee farmers a stronger voice, greater participation, and direct access to funding, Aromas Del Valle is a coffee cooperative that operates in Peru's northern region of Cajamarca. Led by Iván Cruz Rivera, who combines agronomic expertise with operational leadership, the Aromas Del Valle team partners with the Progreso Foundation to provide a complete support model. By pairing management training with targeted technical assistance, Progreso helps smallholder farmers boost both crop yields and cup quality. The result is a reliable output of sustainably-grown specialty varieties, like Caturra, Bourbon, and Geisha.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the second coffee from Aromas Del Valle to be offered by our friends at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/rosetta-roastery\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Explore Rosetta's offerings\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRosetta Roastery\u003c\/a\u003e.

This approach enhances fruit sweetness, adds layered complexity and depth, defining the signature cup profile of this lot.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1,500m - 2,100m ASL\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Washed\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bourbon\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2025\/26\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cutervo, Cajamarca \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Peru\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Smallholder farmers of the Aromas Del Valle Collective\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Organic (Certified at origin)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rosetta Roastery","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":44009692856454,"sku":"ROSETTAPERUARODVAL250G","price":280.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":44009692889222,"sku":"ROSETTAPERUARODVAL1KG","price":1008.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0280\/5548\/files\/AromasdelValle25_26.jpg?v=1779786653","url":"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/products\/rosetta-roastery-peru-aromas-del-valle-washed-2025-2026","provider":"Cape Coffee Beans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
