Background:
FTO Peru
Peru boasts approximately 90,000 hectares of certified organic coffee farmland, making it one of the world’s top producers of certified-organic exported coffee. About 25–30% of Peru’s smallholder farmers are members of democratically organized cooperatives and associations, simplifying the sourcing of FTO-certified lots.

Rony and his coffees are setting a new standard for excellence in Peruvian specialty coffee.
