A Journey for the Senses


It is the perfect companion, a contemplative indulgence of Peruvian lore that elevates any establishment. The lounges understand this, instinctively.

At first sip, the taste is that of the first rays of dawn, plum and pineapple jelly dancing on the tongue. Then, as the cup breathes, a deeper mystery unfolds: wheat germ bitters rise, reflecting the jungle's secrets. As the warmth intensifies, the wine-like quality is complemented by cane sugar and a floral bouquet.

Cultivators:

Meet the people behind Sapa Sunlight: Edy Rojas, Milagros Ortiz, Juan Jose Espiritu, Daniel Lale, Marcial Ortiz, Wilson Encarnacion, Raul Miguel, and Eliseo Guisado. They lovingly tend their coffee farms nestled in the beautiful hills of Miraflores and Gramazu, reaching high into the mountains, between 1600 and 1950 meters. Each precious coffee cherry is carefully hand-picked on farms that border the breathtaking UNESCO Amazonian Biosphere Reserves, including the Oxapampa-Asháninka-Yánesha Biosphere Reserve (BIOAY).

Why Lounges Love It:

Feel the warmth of "Inti," the Incan sun god, in every sip. Its bright, radiant flavor delightfully uplifts and energizes your guests, a coffee that subtly shifts the mood, awakens the senses, and prompts introspection, a fleeting glimpse of the Chakana, the Incan cross bridging the earthly and the cosmic. With its beautiful wine-like qualities, it's a wonderfully sophisticated alternative to alcoholic drinks, perfect for those seeking a moment of refined enjoyment. It creates connections and turns ordinary days into unforgettable journeys.

🔥 Roasting

Sapa Sunlight's honey process benefits from a City+ roast. This enhances the fruit notes and balances the acidity.

💧 Brewing

Brewing as a cold brew or using a full immersion method will emphasize its silky body and evolving flavors.

Espresso Suitability: Delve into the mysteries of time with this complex coffee. It has a light honey scent and a rich body. Because it is honey-processed, it will deliver the extra punch needed for a beautiful espresso.

These are just suggestions, and your personal preferences may vary. Experiment with different roast levels and brewing methods to discover what you enjoy most.

  • Grade 1

    Our Peruvian green coffee beans are carefully processed and graded to meet the highest standards, including Grade 1 specifications, ensuring exceptional quality and cup consistency for discerning roasters.
  • Geography

    Pasco, Peru, located in the central highlands, presents a compelling region for coffee cultivation. Characterized by a rugged Andean topography, Pasco experiences significant altitudinal variation, a key factor in coffee quality. The region's eastern slopes, descending towards the Amazon basin, feature a humid, subtropical climate with consistent rainfall, ideal for Arabica cultivation. These areas, particularly in the Oxapampa province, exhibit a complex mosaic of microclimates due to varying elevations and aspects, creating diverse terroirs. The interplay of altitude, rainfall, and temperature gradients contributes to the distinct flavor profiles of Oxapampa's coffee. Geographically, the region's coffee farms are often situated on steep slopes, requiring specialized cultivation techniques and impacting soil erosion patterns. The region's accessibility, infrastructure, and the socioeconomic dynamics of coffee-producing communities are also critical factors influencing the sustainability and expansion of coffee cultivation in Pasco.
  • Relax

    In the realm of sophisticated lounges, where patrons seek premium, artisanal experiences, Sunrise Trading's Peruvian coffee stands unparalleled. Ethically sourced, ecological shade-grown beans offer a distinct, complex flavor profile that will elevate any establishment.
