Variety: 100% Arabica

History:

Pure Peru comes from the area around the town of Pichanaqui in the province of Chanchamayo. It is a BIO and FAIRTRADE certified layered coffee. The coffee grows in the shade at higher altitudes to achieve a denser bean consistency through the slower ripening process, which in turn leads to interesting flavour profiles. So this is a strong, dry, nutty coffee that is wonderful for making as an espresso. Both in hand filters and in the machine - it exudes a fine, spicy note with tones of nut and cinnamon.

About the producer:

Our philosophy is to produce, sell and enjoy what we consider to be the best coffees in the world, if possible in organic quality from fairly paid coffee farmers known to us, adequately roasted, i.e. adapted to the respective desired use, without tricks such as adding water or sugar, as fresh as possible.

We only take the right to entice enjoyment. We are happy to tell stories about our coffees, their origin, roasting and proper preparation when we sense that someone shares our enthusiasm for good coffee. For years, we have personally visited many of our coffee farmers and sometimes stood in their way during the harvest.

On 15.10.1987: Günther Alfon founded the coffee roastery Alt Wien in Belvederegasse in Vienna's 4th district as a frahling lover and lone fighter with a 5kg machine from the Austrian company Swadlo. On 6.6.2000 Christian Schrödl took over the roastery and moved it to its current home, Schleifmühlgasse 23.

At the beginning, there was always a love of coffee, both for Mr. Alfon in 1987 and for Christian Schrödl, who initially took over the roastery out of self-interest, as he believed that there was no good, fresh coffee left in Vienna at the time.

In the summer of 2008, Oliver Goetz, a regular customer of the roastery, was invited to join the roastery and help expand the business. He accepted the invitation and has been steering the fortunes of our house alongside Christian Schrödl ever since.
