Peru is one of the world's leading producers of organic and Fair Trade certified coffee. This coffee is cultivated on small farms in the Andes Mountains at 3000-6000 feet elevation. The beans are hand-picked by farmers and processed using small-scale wet mills with traditional methods. The coffee features chocolate, smooth, and mellow flavor characteristics with a medium roast. It is certified Organic by the Montana Department of Agriculture and Fair Trade Certified.
Founded in the early 1980s in a restored farmhouse located 25 miles from Glacier National Park near the Continental Divide, Montana Coffee Traders has roasted arabica coffees for more than 40 years. Operating multiple cafés throughout the region while maintaining a roastery equipped with Loring and Sivitz equipment, the company has built its reputation on consistency and quality in one of America's most distinctive coffee roasting locations. The roastery's vintage farmhouse setting and proximity to pristine wilderness embody a roasting philosophy deeply connected to place.
