Chirinos Peru, San Ignacio

Tasting Notes – Full bodied, smooth velvet mouthfeel with dark chocolate, golden raisin notes and sweet hazelnut finish.

Our London Fields Range is a range of ethically sourced coffees from distinctive growing regions around the world. Each coffee brings an individuality and uniqueness that is truly representative of their natural origins flavours and aromas.  Our Peruvian Espresso is meticulously small batched roasted and given time for the heavy body and rich caramelized flavours to develop.

This specialty single origin Arabica coffee is grown on the steep slopes of the Andes by The Chirinos co-operative , one of our favourite producers at London Fields Roastery. The high altitude and fertile volcanic soils has enabled Chirinos to produce amazing coffee consistently for over 50 years and its 815 members are committed and focussed on producing Fairtrade, 100% organic coffee, something that is very important to the ethos of Cafedirect.

The Chirinos co-op is also part of Producers Direct centre of excellence, which allows the farmers to teach their most eco-friendly and sustainable practices on to other farmers, thus increasing yields and quality of organic coffees for the whole region. The co-op has also installed a youth committee, to encourage youngsters to get involved with farming from an early age. Also, there’s a driving hope that farming will soon be more entrepreneurial-based, rather than the traditional, old model of farming.

If you’re a Fairtrade coffee connoisseur, chances are you’ll already be familiar with Cafédirect’s brilliant brews. Not only were they the first Fairtrade hot drinks brand in the UK, they’re also the largest and are a certified B Corp too.

As you’d expect, Cafédirect does right by the producers they work with and are committed to helping smallholder growers thrive – now and in the future. That’s why they invest 50% of profits into Producers Direct, on top of the Fairtrade premiums they pay. 

What is Producers Direct? It’s a charity run by growers, for growers, which improves livelihoods and creates a sustainable future. They organise training and education on everything from diversifying crops in response to climate change to bookkeeping. 

This way of doing business benefits everyone involved. It gives farmers security and ever-evolving knowledge on growing top-quality coffee as well as being good for community wellbeing. This in turn allows Cafédirect to get great tasting, continually improving coffee into your mug at home. Or, hot chocolate or tea if those are more your bag – they do luxurious hot chocolate and a range called London Tea, too. 

Plus, Cafédirect is making efforts to take care of the planet, with at least a third of their coffee being Soil Association Certified.
