Hailing from the lush, high-altitude slopes of the Northern Andean Rainforest, this coffee is a product of the Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera (CAC) Bagua Grande. Established in 1979 to empower smallholder farmers against local intermediaries, this co-op has grown into a pillar of the Amazonas region. By uniting hundreds of families, they ensure fair wages and reinvest in sustainable farming technologies that protect the delicate Amazonian ecosystem. These traditional Arabica varieties thrive in volcanic soil shaded by native trees, benefiting from a slow maturation process that packs every bean with dense, sugar-heavy complexity.

Why We Love It

While some coffees aim for high-acid "sparkle," the Bagua Grande is all about richness and depth. The natural sugars of the Bourbon and Caturra varietals fully caramelize, creating a flavor profile that reminds us of a cozy Sunday morning.

The standout notes of Banana Bread and Maple provide a warm, toasted sweetness that is perfectly grounded by a creamy Cashew Butter finish. It has a remarkably smooth, velvety body that feels substantial on the palate. We love this lot because it is incredibly reliable; it’s the kind of coffee that tastes "exactly like coffee should," but with a specialty-grade refinement that reveals new layers of nutty sweetness with every sip.

Roaster's Note

The dense, nutty profile of this Peru makes it the ultimate choice for a French Press or Aeropress. The immersion brewing method highlights that "Cashew Butter" texture and makes the "Maple" notes even more indulgent.

Roasting Exceptional Coffee Since 1982

A Legacy Born in Her Kitchen. A Roast Perfected in Ours.

Forty-five years ago, Bonjo Coffee wasn’t a business—it was a memory. Our story begins with the hum of a stovetop and the unmistakable aroma of my grandmother’s kitchen. She didn’t just brew coffee; she created a moment of sanctuary. It was her warmth, her high standards, and her belief that "good enough" never was, that sparked the fire in me to start roasting.

Today, Bonjo Coffee Roasters remains a family-anchored landmark in Stamford, CT. We’ve taken those old-world values—patience, quality, and heart—and brought them into the modern era. As a multi-generational roastery, we bridge the gap between my grandmother's timeless inspiration and the precision of today’s specialty coffee.

From our signature Miscela Bar and Classica to our micro-lot single origins, every bean is roasted to honor her legacy. We are still a family business, now led by the next generation, ensuring that the same care my grandmother put into a single cup is found in every bag we ship.
