Unit Fourteen

Sourced from the Andean highlands surrounding Jaén, in the Cajamarca department of northern Peru, this coffee brings together tradition and terroir. The rich volcanic soils, ideal tropical rainfall and high altitude of the region create the perfect growing conditions. Peru’s coffee sector is overwhelmingly smallholder-based, with thousands of farms of just a few hectares each at elevations up to 2100 masl. Many producers draw on generations of experience, and this coffee reflects their shared knowledge paired with modern precision.

Unit Fourteen is a Peruvian coffee from Round Hill Roastery, sourced from the Jaén region in Cajamarca. This area of northern Peru has emerged as a notable origin for specialty coffee, with distinct microclimates that shape the cup character. Jaén sits in a coffee-growing zone known for its elevation and terroir-driven profiles, contributing complexity to beans processed and roasted at Round Hill's specifications.
