We believe it’s important to support producers who go the extra mile to protect the environment. That’s why Super Nature is always sourced from certified organic farms, grown and produced without the use of synthetic fertilisers, herbicides, or pesticides. This single origin espresso is available all year round, showcasing robust, fruity coffees from Ethiopia and Peru.-
Despite simple equipment, minimal infrastructure, and hardly any governmental support for farmers, there are some amazing coffees being produced in Peru. Sadly, most of the quality lots are used to create regional blends and are sold for extremely low prices. Producers are not paid for quality, so their investment in improving the infrastructure and processing practices on their farms is minimal. Fortunately things are changing!
This coffee was produced by Victoria Ramos and her farm is located very close to the Ecuadorean border in San Ignacio. This area has enormous potential for producing quality coffee, but most of the farmers here come from other crops such as sugar cane, or they are used to more traditional coffee farming practices. This is our first year buying from Victoria and we're excited for this coffee to feature as our Super Nature Espresso.

Victoria Ramos harvested, pulped, fermented, washed and dried this coffee at her farm in San Ignacio. After processing, this lot was sold in parchment to the exporter Origin Coffee Lab, who arranged milling and transportation to port. Origin coffee Lab then sold the coffee to the importer Nordic Approach, who shipped it to their warehouse in Belgium and arranged the onward transport to our roastery.
