APROCOYCE – Peru
At Owens, every cup starts with people. Our coffee is grown by dedicated farmers and cooperatives around the world, whose care and expertise bring out the rich flavours in every roast. By choosing 100% organic, specialty and Fairtrade beans, we support better livelihoods for farming communities — so when you meet our farmers, you’re also meeting the heart of our coffee.
APROCOYCE is a cooperative based in the Amazonas region of northern Peru, where dense cloud forests and steep Andean slopes create the perfect conditions for specialty coffee. Formed by 23 founding members and now numbering over 380, the group works collectively to improve access to markets, certifications, and technical support. Their farms sit at altitudes between 1,400 and 1,800 meters, where volcanic soils and native trees enrich the land, creating microclimates that foster clarity and sweetness in the cup. Beyond farming, APROCOYCE invests in reforestation, soil conservation, and waste management, ensuring that their production sustains both the environment and their communities.
Quality and sustainability are central to APROCOYCE’s approach. Farmers hand-pick ripe cherries, sort them carefully, and process them using traditional washed methods with solar drying. Recent investment in their own coffee lab has strengthened quality control and cupping expertise. The result is a coffee that combines chocolate, caramel, and praline flavours with underlying notes of blood orange and plum, reflecting both the richness of the land and the dedication of the growers. Certified Fairtrade and Organic, APROCOYCE’s work ensures farmers receive fair pay and long-term stability, while producing coffees that are consistently smooth, balanced, and expressive.
