The Pangoa Cooperative, in the highlands of the western Amazon near the Brazilian border, not only harvests incredible coffee; they have also established a variety of programs to support their members. The Pangoa cooperative encourages ecotourism projects to help supplement farmer’s incomes, developed an educational fund program to loan members money to send their children to university, and additionally created a health services fund to assist members with their medical needs. Starting with only 50 farmers in 1977, the group went through very difficult times when the Shining Path militant group swept through the area driving away many of the region's farmers during the late 80s. Since that time the group has rebuilt and now delivers high quality, fair-trade organic coffee to market.
American Roast: Our lightest roast, characterized by a dry surface, leading to a light body and a bright, piquant flavor
Full City Roast: A medium/light roast, slightly darker than our American, has a rich, sweet, full-body creating a complex cup
Vienna Roast: A medium/dark roast that brings the ambrosial coffee oils to the surface and brews a savory, pleasantly bittersweet cup
French Roast: A classic dark roast that results in a dark, oily bean with a bold flavor and heady aroma
Espresso Roast: As dark as it gets. Not actually recommended for brewing espresso, this roast is in pursuit of a densely redolent espresso flavor, without the espresso extraction process
