  „The coffee of Peru is produced and marketed on a smaller scale than it is in the larger Colombia. Quality Arabica coffee is here and flourishes between 3,000 and 5500 feet in the central highlands. The two principal coffee towns of Villa Rica and La Merced are at the center of coffee activity for Peru. Villa Rica, where the majority of the quality coffee is grown, was founded in 1925 by a German settlers and German names are quite common here.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „Arabica coffee is traditionally grown in shade in many (but not all) parts of Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela, and in some other parts of the world, including India and some regions of Indonesia and Africa. Elsewhere arabica coffee is traditionally grown in full sun, or near full sun. The importance of maintaining shade canopies to supply habitat for migrating song birds in Central America has led to a controversial campaign by researchers at the Smithsonian Institute and their supporters to define "shade grown" in rather narrow terms (shade provided by mixed native trees) and label coffees grown under such a native canopy as "bird friendly." Farmers who traditionally have not grown coffee in shade but maintain extensive forest reserves on their land understandably object to the concept, as do those who use non-native trees to shade their coffee. On the other hand, shade grown coffees most definitely are much easier on the environment than sun grown coffees, and the better tasting traditional varieties of arabica, bourbon and typica, are, in Central America at least, best grown in shade.“
