10 Best Peruvian Coffee Brands To Try

Many people have never tried Peruvian coffee, but if you want to try it yourself, here are the best Peruvian coffee brands to try.

It can be difficult to wake up from the bliss of sleep, and if you are like me, you will find it hard to start your day without drinking a cup of coffee. However, not all coffee is the same — and all coffee connoisseurs are aware that Peruvian coffee is the underdog in the coffee business. 

Peru has kept a close guard on their coffee and chosen to keep its delectable goodness to themselves. However, we have still been blessed with the best coffee on the market, thanks to a selected few, so these are the best Peruvian coffee brands to try.

1. Volcanica Peru Coffee

The Volcanica Peru Coffee is cultivated in the Chanchamayo region at the highest ranges of the South American Andes and the Amazon River basin. It is best known for its complex flavor profiles.

The Volcanica Peru Coffee is a medium roast coffee, so it is slightly sweeter than light roasts and has a balanced flavor, aroma, and acidity. There is no bitter flavor or burnt aftertaste to this coffee. It also goes well with cream and sugar, which is perfect for people who prefer a sweeter taste.

2. First Colony Peruvian Andes Gold Whole Bean Coffee

Like the other products on this list, this coffee is also USDA Organic and Fair Trade certified. It is also made from 100% Arabica coffee beans from Peru — but it is roasted and packed in the US.

Kaldi is a gourmet coffee roaster based in the United States, but the Organic Peruvian brew is a big hitter. Unlike many of the other options on this list, this is a light roast coffee.

It is only natural to include Cooper’s Cask on this list because their cold brew specialty coffees are highly recommended in the world of coffee. Being a cold brew coffee company means its process is different from the traditional coffee companies — but there are some similarities.

Cooper’s Cask Coffee Organic Peruvian Cold Brew is USDA Organic, and Fair Trade certified and made from 100% Arabica coffee beans. These coffee beans are shade-grown and wet-processed to produce coffee with a bold taste.

The flavor profile of this coffee differs slightly to enhance the quality of cold brewing. This coffee is a medium roast and has a robust flavor with hints of chocolate, cherries and citrus.
