This Peruvian coffee comes from small-scale farmers in San Francisco, Los Llanos, San Andres, and El Sauce in the San Ignacio region. The coffee is Organic certified through the Asociación Agropecuaria de Productores del Norte. Classic varieties include Catuai, Caturra, Bourbon, and Mundo Novo. The coffee is picked at peak ripeness, floated, and hand-sorted before undergoing a 20-30 hour fermentation process followed by slow, shaded drying. The result is a smooth cup with flavor notes of milk chocolate, trail mix, and green apple.
The Good Coffee Cartel was established in 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland by co-founders Todd Whiteford and Courtney Patrick Brennan. The roastery gained recognition for its distinctive zero-waste approach to coffee distribution, supplying their beans in reusable and recyclable tin containers. Their flagship location in Kinning Park on Glasgow's Southside roasts coffee in-house and sources baked goods from local artisan suppliers. The roastery has built an international reputation through its commitment to ecological practices and high-quality specialty coffee available both locally and globally.
