Fairtrade® Organic DECAF Peru

The Machu Picchu Citadel was built in the 15th Century, and stood as the center of the Incan Empire for both royal and religious reasons. Our label artwork seeks to honor the people and history of Peru. Translated from Quechua, Machu Picchu literally means, "old mountain." Machu Picchu is one of the 7 Wonders of the New World.

DETAILS: Located in northern Peru in the Amazonian Andes, this coop began with just 35 small farmers in 2003. The Asociacion de Productores Cafetaleros Juan Marco El Palto (JUMARP) is also known as simply "El Palto." There are 40 women of the current 189 coop members, with approximately 550 hectares of organic and Fair Trade Certified coffee in production. Like their male counterparts, female members are represented on the El Palto Coop Board of Directors, whose mission it is to increase production and profitability in specialty coffee to increase each member family’s income.

 

Statement of Sustainability:

  • The majority of our shipping materials are curbside recyclable, and all of our Tiki Tea packaging is compostable. 

  • We only ethically source our coffee from small-lot farmers. We offer several Fairtrade® Certified, and organically grown options.

  • With every purchase, we fund the planting of 1 tree through the 'Trees for Education Program', formed by the collaborative efforts of UNASDG, Imani's Board and Embu officials. After year 1, the tree is included in the program that leverages the International Carbon Market through the UNASDG, and provides desperately needed funding for a school for orphans in Kenya.

  • We are a member of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), which has the purpose to “foster global coffee communities to support activities to make coffee a more sustainable, equitable, and thriving activity for the whole value chain.”

  • We are a member of World Coffee Research. This is a non-profit that unites the global coffee-industry towards a sustainable supply of quality coffee for generations to come. Not just because coffee tastes good, but to protect the livelihoods of thousands in many of the world’s poorest regions. It assists farmers with the tools, knowledge and plants necessary to adapt to the changing climate. It includes research on new varieties, techniques, and support to small, local farmers who are often the furthest from innovation.
