Organic Peruvian Coffee Pods - envipod® USDA Organic, Fair Trade, OU Kosher, Plastic-Free & Commercially Compostable Cinnamon, Caramel, and Citrus. South American Coffee at Its Most Complex. Peru doesn't always get the attention of its South American neighbors, but the Amazon-grown coffee coming out of Rodríguez de Mendoza makes a compelling case. Fresh Roasted Coffee's USDA Organic Peruvian envipods open with a distinct spiced cinnamon note, move into a caramelized sweetness through the body, and finish with a lingering citrus brightness: a layered, complex profile that unfolds cup after cup. Fair Trade certified, OU Kosher, and third-party tested for mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides. Brewed in a plastic-free, BPI-certified commercially compostable pod with no synthetic chemicals anywhere in the supply chain. Tasting Notes Complex and distinctive from first sip to last: spiced cinnamon at the front, a rich caramelized sweetness through the body, and a lingering citrus finish that keeps the cup bright without tipping into sharp. Medium acidity, medium roast. The kind of profile that rewards attention but delivers even when you're just trying to get through the morning. Who This Is For Coffee drinkers who want something genuinely distinctive, not just "smooth" or "bold" Anyone drawn to warm spice notes without a dark or smoky roast Drinkers who appreciate a finish that actually lingers People who care where their coffee comes from and who grew it Clean coffee drinkers who want every credential verified, not just claimed The Cooperative Behind the Coffee This coffee comes from Aprysa, a producer group based in the municipality of Rodríguez de Mendoza in Peru's Amazon region. Aprysa is Fair Trade and organic certified, and nearly half of their producers are women: a meaningful distinction in an industry where smallholder farming is still heavily male-dominated. Their work is organized around three commitments that show up in how they farm and how they operate: community benefit, education, and environmental stewardship. These aren't mission statement words. They're the framework Aprysa uses to decide how to grow, process, and sell their coffee. The result is a producer group whose determination and care for quality is evident in what ends up in the cup. Why This Peruvian Is Different A Flavor Profile That Actually Has Layers Cinnamon, caramel, and citrus aren't three random tasting notes. They're a progression. The spice is there at first contact, the sweetness develops through the body, and the citrus carries the finish. That kind of sequential complexity is a product of well-grown, carefully processed beans that have enough inherent character to show different qualities at different points in the cup. The medium roast lets all three come through without collapsing them into a single flat note. USDA Organic and Fair Trade, Verified Through Aprysa's Own Certifications Aprysa holds both organic and Fair Trade certifications independently. This isn't Fresh Roasted Coffee's sourcing standard applied at the import level. The certifications are embedded in how Aprysa operates: organic farming practices that protect the Amazon ecosystem their crops depend on, and Fair Trade price floors that make sustainable production economically viable for nearly 50% women-led producer households.
