Cupping notes: coffee blossom, chocolate, nuts, cinnamon and citrus; bright acidity, medium body and a fruity finish. Traceable to the plot of Rosa Mateo, a smallholder grower in Perené, Chanchamayo. The organic certification is held at origin and traceability runs from the farm to the container: the processing mill loads it straight in, with no intermediate handling. The certificate documentation covering the lot is provided with it. About the farm.
How orders are placed
The commercial unit is the quintal. One quintal of green (oro) coffee —hulled and export-ready— equals 100 pounds, roughly 45.36 kilograms. Before hulling, one quintal of parchment coffee equals 55 kilograms.
A 20-foot FCL container carries 415 quintales of green coffee. Smaller volumes are arranged as consolidated shipments depending on the destination port.
To prepare a proposal we need three things: estimated volume in quintales, destination port or city, and the cup profile you are looking for. With that we arrange samples before signing any contract.
Trade terms and export
We trade on FOB Callao terms: the agreed price covers the coffee loaded on board at the Port of Callao, Lima, with ocean freight and insurance from that point on the buyer's account.
Minimum order is 40 bags, shipped as consolidated cargo (LCL). We also handle full container loads (FCL), at 415 quintales for a 20-foot container. The low minimum exists so a roaster can start with a manageable lot before committing to a full container.
We have hands-on experience exporting to the United States and Europe, so the documentation cycle is familiar ground rather than a first attempt.
Advisory services for buyers
Two services covering what comes after the price is agreed: getting the shipment out of the port, and selling that coffee in the destination market.
Coffee is sold in the cup, but deals fall apart in the paperwork. Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate and the destination country's own requirements are where most first shipments get stuck.

International marketing
Enrique Barraza Mohring
Especialista en marketing internacional
Placing Peruvian coffee in a foreign market does not end at the shipment: the origin has to be positioned, the brand story the end consumer reads on the bag has to be built, and the channels that coffee sells through have to be chosen. We advise on market-entry strategy, origin positioning and brand communication for roasters and importers.
We source the coffee you need
We do not work a single lot or a single profile. If you need coffee at a specific cup score, variety, process or price band, tell us: we look for it among the growers we work with in the Peruvian Central Jungle and give you a straight answer on whether we can source it and by when.
On certifications we want to be precise, because vagueness here is expensive for both sides. The farms hold organic certification; Flor de Altura as a company is in the process of obtaining its own. We work with certified farms and with processing mills that hold the relevant certifications. With every lot we hand you the certificate documentation that covers it — that of the farm of origin —, not a generic claim of our own.
We pay growers directly, with no middlemen, and at premiums above the market price. Their coffee is grown without agrochemicals, on farms with organic certification and traceability from the farm to the container.
What we do guarantee on our own account is the verifiable part: lot traceability down to the plot, SCA-protocol cupping before shipment, and samples sent before any contract is signed.
Origin and traceability
We work with agroecological coffee grower cooperatives and associations in Peru's Central Jungle. These organisations focus on preserving the environment the coffee grows in —shade, soil and water— and on the care that high-quality coffee demands, from harvest through processing and drying.
The coffee we export is Grade 1, the export category with the fewest physical defects. Our export line cups between 80 and 84 SCA points and our specialty lots between 84 and 87. Every lot is cupped under SCA protocol before shipment and keeps its origin identity, with declared altitude, botanical variety and processing method.
We also work with farms in the region, such as Finca San Ignacio in Pichanaqui, Junín, and Finca Bella Vista and Rosa Mateo's farm, both in Perené, Chanchamayo. Meet the farms.
The Andean-Amazonian microclimate —cold nights and sunny days— concentrates sugars in the bean and sustains the cup quality that export demands. We publish market and origin analysis in our magazine.
Green coffee FAQ
How many kilograms is a quintal of coffee in Peru?
A quintal of green (oro) coffee, already hulled, weighs 100 pounds, about 45.36 kilograms. A quintal of parchment coffee, before hulling, is counted at 55 kilograms. Export trade is in green-coffee quintales: a 20-foot container carries 415 quintales.
Which green coffee lot is available now?
The lot available for export is from Rosa Mateo's farm: washed Catuai Arabica from Chanchamayo, Junín, Peru, grown at 1,750 m.a.s.l., Grade 1, organic certified at origin, 12.5% moisture and 84 SCA points. Notes of coffee blossom, chocolate, nuts, cinnamon and citrus; bright acidity, medium body and a fruity finish. It is available in large volumes and sold by the quintal.
What SCA score is your green coffee?
We work two lines: a volume export line cupping 80 to 84 SCA points, and specialty lots cupping 84 to 87 SCA points. Every lot is cupped under SCA protocol before shipment.
Do you ship by sea and by air?
Yes. Large volumes ship by sea from the Port of Callao, as consolidated cargo (LCL) or full containers (FCL), and we also ship by air when the buyer needs the coffee sooner.
What is the price of your green coffee?
Price is quoted per quintal according to volume, shipping mode and shipment date. Message us on WhatsApp and we will send you the current quote.
Who handles the coffee between the processing mill and shipment?
No one else. The coffee is processed at the mill and loaded from there straight into the container: Flor de Altura does not handle it again. Lot traceability runs from the farm all the way to the container and, for organic lots, the certification is held at origin.
In what unit do you receive orders?
Orders are received in quintales of bulk green coffee for export. One quintal of green (oro) coffee equals 100 pounds, approximately 45.36 kilograms. One quintal of parchment coffee, before hulling, equals 55 kilograms.
How many quintales fit in a container?
A 20-foot FCL container carries 415 quintales of green coffee. Orders below that volume are arranged as consolidated shipments depending on destination.
Which Incoterm do you work with?
We trade on FOB Callao terms: the price covers the coffee loaded on board at the Port of Callao, Lima. Ocean freight and insurance from that point are on the buyer's account.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum is 40 bags, shipped as consolidated cargo (LCL). We also handle full container loads (FCL). The low minimum lets a roaster start with a manageable lot before committing to a full container.
Which markets do you export to?
We have experience exporting Peruvian green coffee to the United States and Europe. The export documentation cycle —commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate— is familiar ground.
Is the coffee certified organic?
Yes: the farms we work with hold organic certification, and each lot ships with the certificate documentation that covers it, with traceability from the farm to the container. The coffee is grown without agrochemicals —pulp composting, native guaba shade and biological pest control. Flor de Altura as a company is in the process of obtaining its own organic certification; until then, the certificate behind each lot is that of the farm of origin.
Can you source a coffee profile other than the ones you list?
Yes, that is part of what we do. If you need coffee at a specific cup score, variety, process or price band, we look for it among the growers we work with in the Peruvian Central Jungle and give you a straight answer on whether we can source it and by when.
Is the coffee traceable to the farm?
Yes. Every lot is identified by its origin: the agroecological grower cooperative or association that produced it, or the farm, such as Finca San Ignacio in Pichanaqui, Junín, and Finca Bella Vista in Perené, Chanchamayo. Traceability covers altitude, botanical variety and processing method.
Do you help with export documentation?
Yes. We offer export documentation advisory led by Samantha Mancco Amaringo, a specialist in agro-industrial foreign trade. It covers the shipment file —commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate— and the destination country's requirements. Available to our coffee buyers and also as a standalone service.
Do you advise on selling the coffee in the destination market?
Yes. Enrique Barraza Mohring, a specialist in international marketing, advises on market-entry strategy, origin positioning and brand communication for roasters and importers working with Peruvian coffee.
Do you ship samples before closing a purchase?
Yes, cup samples are arranged before signing a contract. Write to us with your estimated volume, destination and target profile so we can prepare a proposal.
