Peru (Cold Brew Kit)

Each Cold Brew Kit contains four compostable mesh bags, each filled with 3oz (85g) of coarsely ground coffee. All you need is a jar, lid, water, and some time. Each bag makes up to 24oz (700ml) of coffee concentrate, 96oz (2.8l) per Cold Brew Kit.

To make cold brew coffee concentrate

• Place coffee-filled mesh bag in a clean quart jar or pitcher.
• Add 3 cups (700ml) water and cover (can be placed in refrigerator or brewed at room temperature).
• Wait 12-18 hours.
• Remove and compost/discard the mesh bag with coffee grounds.
• Add ice, water, milk, and/or ice cream to taste (or heat for hot coffee drinks).
• Concentrate can be stored in refrigerator up to two weeks.

The Country
Peru is located in northwestern South America, right along the Pacific coast. The country is divided into three regions: costa (along the Pacific coast), sierra (the Andes Mountains), and Amazonia (the eastern portion of the country, the source of the Amazon River). These vastly different regions of the country make it difficult to travel from one region to another, but they also allow for a variety of crops, including coffee, which came to the area in the 1700s.

The Co-op

This coffee comes to us from a group of 535 producers located on the left bank of the Marañon River in Peru. The name Amoju comes from the Awajun language, meaning fresh water. A fitting name for coffee produced around the main tributary of the Amazon River. The Amoju producers have been dedicated to the production of coffee with practices that mitigate climate change since their founding in September 2016. By forming this cooperative, they have been able to improve the production and quality of their coffee, resulting in better market and pricing options for all producers. The entire process of coffee production is completed on the producers’ 3-5 hectare farms.
