Producers in Peru, as well as other producing countries in Latin America, due to history, tradition and customs, have mainly dedicated themselves to the production of fully washed coffees.
This year we made the decision to keep growing and developing new regions in Peru, always following our work philosophy: Where sourcing makes sense or better said Where coffees make sense; through our agencies in origin (Belco Colombia and Belco El Salvador) and the energy and willingness of our new partner from Origin Coffee Lab to do something different, we took on a challenge together: to develop natural coffees.
Belco has invested in supporting producers in their efforts to improve their coffee processing skills, in particular by training them in the Natural process.
Created in 2020, the Huasimal Coop now has over 100 small producers.
The name of the coffee is inspired by the terroir. Despite the dry weather, the region is very cloudy at dawn. "PHUYU" means cloud in Quechu.
