Sunrise Trading is a bridge between the vibrant Peruvian rainforest and your cup. We believe in ethically sourced, shade-grown coffee that delivers exceptional flavor and also honors the environment and the communities that cultivate it.
Our commitment to sustainable practices is reflected in the methods our group of farmers employ, transforming each bean from its humble beginnings to your coffee experience.
Nurturing the Rainforest:
Sunrise Trading’s coffee is found in the lush, verdant forests of the Peruvian High Jungle. Our cultivators, many of whom are members of the Yanesha Indigenous Community, understand the delicate balance of the rainforest and its importance. They embrace a philosophy of sustainable cultivation:
Shade-Grown Practices:
Coffee beans thrive in the shade of the rainforest canopy, providing natural protection and a balanced microclimate. This practice protects the ecosystem and ensures the long-term sustainability of the land.
Organic Cultivation:
Our farmers prioritize organic methods, without the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers, safeguarding the soil and the environment. This ensures a healthier rainforest and enhances the natural flavor of the beans.
Respect for Tradition:
These practices reflect the Yanesha community's deep connection to the land, their respect for their ancestors, and their commitment to sustainable practices passed down through generations.
From Cherry to Cup:
Once the coffee cherries are hand-picked, by qualified selectors, they are carefully processed using a variety of traditional methods, each contributing to the unique flavor profile of each coffee:
Washed Process: The beans are carefully cleaned, fermented, and dried to remove the fruit pulp, creating a clean and bright flavor with delicate acidity.
Natural Process: The cherries are dried in the sun, allowing the mucilage to ferment and develop a sweeter, richer flavor.
Honey Process: This method involves partially drying the beans with the mucilage, resulting in a unique combination of sweetness, acidity, and complex flavor notes.
The Journey Continues:
After the coffee beans are dried to a precise humidity level, they are sorted and graded to a Grade 1 standard, to ensure consistency and quality. They are then packed in airtight GrainPro® Hermetic Bags™, ensuring optimal freshness and preserving the unique flavor profiles.
Sunrise Trading is committed to sourcing with dedicated farmers who share our passion for quality and sustainability. The Andes whisper their secrets. This exceptional Peruvian coffee embodies the rainforest's beauty, its vibrant communities, and the artistry of coffee cultivation, a journey for your senses.
