"Montaña," translating to "mountain" in Spanish, is the name of this organic, regional blend. The name reflects the high-altitude conditions and the mountainous terrain of San Ignacio where this coffee is produced by small-scale coffee farmers.
San Ignacio is located in the Cajamarca department of Peru, nestled in amongst the Andes mountain range, where the nutrient-rich volcanic soil is ideal for specialty coffee production. Part of the wider Chanchamayo coffee belt, recognized for its excellent coffee-growing conditions, coffee from this region is known for high sweetness and full-bodied flavour.
In addition to coffee, San Ignacio is known for its biodiversity and rich cultural heritage. The province is home to indigenous communities and a mix of traditional and modern farming techniques.
Montaña is made up primarily of Catimor, Pache and Typica varieties, grown at elevations between 1,400 and 1,700m. The coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, then floated and hand-sorted to eliminate any defects. The coffee cherries are de-pulped and undergo 20 to 30 hours of fermentation. Following this, the parchment is gently washed and placed in a shaded area for drying, a process that takes 15 to 20 days until the ideal moisture content is achieved.

I've been buying coffee from Dear Green for several years, various beans, all of them of exceptional quality, but this coffee - in my opinion - surpasses them all, it has everything I look for in coffee: a balanced bouquet of flavors, with a delicate hint of jasmine, perfect, not overpowering acidity. Once, when I was in Poland, I bought coffee beans from Indonesia, and the coffee brewed from them tasted like heaven, and I was looking for a similar taste. And here it is, Kenya, thanks Dear Green!
I haven't tried enough different ones to give a proper review yet, but these are some dam fine beans folks Turned me into a spoiled little coffee bitch.
This is my favourite coffee so far. I've tried a few beans since switching to whole and its the best.
They were out of stock when I went to refill and I was sad.
An amazingly roasted cup, highly recommended
Very nice coffee. Would buy again.
