Shipping
During the transport from the origin to the warehouse and when stored at the warehouse, your coffee is fully insured by Algrano. In case anything happens, we will take care of the issue.
For the road transport to your roastery, you can choose 2 delivery options:
Doorstep delivery (DDP): we will take care of the road transport to your doorstep. We will compare prices and organise the pick-up details. Transport insurance and transport claims are fully covered by Algrano. You have nothing to worry about!
Warehouse pick-up (FCA): you will have to organise the transport yourself, and you would need to instruct your carrier accordingly. You will need to organise the insurance, and in case of transport damage, you will need to raise the claim to your carrier.
For buyers in the EU, Switzerland and the UK the coffee will be provided customs cleared. In case of an intra-community delivery, you will need to report the purchase according to your local VAT regulations.
For buyers in Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein, we can provide transport to your roastery, but we are not able to import. In this case you would need to register the import.
For buyers in the USA, we will provide customs clearance.
Financing costs apply until the coffee is released.
The coffee story
This coffee was short-listed by the Cup of Excellence (CoE) jury in Peru this year. It was cupped 4 times by an experienced team selected by Central de Café y Cacao, the organization behind the local CoE chapter, in Lima in preparation for the auction. This lot didn't make it to the international phase. However, this is an outstanding coffee amongst the best the country can offer! Ederson's coffee is being offered exclusively to roasters in Europe for direct sales for the first time this harvest. The initiative is being coordinated by Algrano in partnership with Central de Café y Cacao and Allpa Ruru with support from the Alliance for Coffee Excellence (ACE).

Farmer name: Ederson Melgarejo Huaman Farm: Finca Arco Iris Location: Carmen Alto, Yanatile, Calca province, Cusco region Variety: BOURBON/GEISHA Altitude: 1785 m.a.s.l. Process: Washed This coffee is organically farmed. However, the certification is not available for the export.
The farm came to the Alagon family in 1967 as part of the agrarian reform which was taking place in Peru. Mr. Teofilo Alagon, from the District of Yanatile, Province of Calca, Department of Cusco, received the land to grow basic agricultural products. In 2000, 5 hectares were transferred as an inheritance to the Melgarejo Alagon family. Ederson introduced coffee to his plot back then, investing in varieties which yield good flavour profiles such as Typica, Bourbon and Geisha. They are currently being produced with better technology with the support of projects executed by the Municipality. Thanks to these initiatives, Ederson has been able to build his own small facilities to process coffee. He also has a polytunnel with raised beds and tanks for fermentation.
