Jelle's Notes

In my early days of Shokunin, I was looking for a chocolate-oriented flavor profile that would work well in horeca. I actually didn’t want it to be a Brazilian coffee, and at the time, there also weren’t any Brazilian farms I could build interesting, innovative projects with at scale. So when I found this one, from a modern farm that welcomed plantation visits and even had a social media presence, it immediately caught my attention.

Later, I learned they worked organically and supported other farmers through their cooperative, which made me feel like this was a coffee I could work with for a long time. And that turned out to be true! After a few years, Fontana replaced it as my standard coffee for cafes, but I still keep this one in the lineup as a comfort coffee.
Fun fact: this was one of the first coffees I ever sold, and it became the model for all the coffee photos on my website. If you look closely, you can see that this product page features a real photo and not a photoshopped image.

Pricing

Price Breakdown (/kg)

For us, sourcing coffee isn’t just about finding the right flavour, but more about finding the right people. We want to work with importers who are interested in building lasting relationships with the farmers and stay involved beyond the harvest. For this coffee, we’ve partnered with This Side Up. They represent producers directly, support long-term systems, and make sure pricing reflects the real work behind each lot. Their model is built on transparency, shared ownership, and a refusal to let commodity pricing define value. We pay more, but we know where it goes. That’s how we prefer to source our coffee.

How is this built up?

Farmgate
€6.33
The farm gate price is calculated based on the cost of production required to produce export‑grade green coffee, along with a margin. Farmers receive the entire amount, exclusive of the export fee.
Local
€0.10
Churupampa is responsible for exporting the coffee from Peru to Rotterdam. This fee includes quality control, training farmers in good agricultural practices, and coordinating the entire export process. Due to steep increases in local market prices and reduced harvest volumes caused by drought, Churupampa reduced their margin this year to keep the coffee affordable for all parties involved.
Shipping
€0.65
International shipping from Paita, Peru to Rotterdam, Netherlands. This includes freight, customs, insurance and warehousing costs.
Financing
€1.10
Average financing cost owed to (mostly social) lenders. This ensures immediate payment to the farmers when the coffee leaves the farm or port.
Regenerative Premium
€0.06
A standard premium by This Side Up dedicated exclusively to accelerating regenerative agriculture projects led by farmers.
This Side Up
€1.65
This Side Up compensation for spending time and resources importing this coffee. Their work includes year‑round contact with producers, managing export, shipping, import, warehousing, grading, sampling, and finding and keeping roasting partners for Cordillera Andina.
