Short answer: Both coffees come from the same cooperative in Peru. Augusta's Organic Breakfast is a medium roast with a bright, citrus taste. Camila's Organic is a medium-dark roast with a rich, chocolate taste. Pick Augusta's for drip and iced coffee. Pick Camila's for espresso and strong drip.
Where they come from
Both coffees come from Chirinos, a cooperative in the San Ignacio province of the Cajamarca region in Peru. Thirty-six producers started it in 1968. It now has 867 members. The coffee grows at 1,200 to 2,200 meters. Members pick it by hand from August to November, and it is washed and dried.
Chirinos is Fair Trade and Organic certified. Members use compost, worm bins and guano as fertilizer. They control pests without chemicals. An agronomist works with each producer group.
Who roasts them
Nossa Familia roasts both coffees. The roaster says it is a Certified Organic handling facility under Oregon Tilth. That means the organic chain stays intact from the green beans to the roasted bag. The roaster also says it is a Certified B Corp.
The roaster buys through Sustainable Harvest, an importer based in Portland.

Whole bean or ground

How to check them yourself
Do not just trust the word organic on a page. Look for the USDA seal and the name of the certifier on the bag. Then look up the roaster in the USDA database. Our guide explains the three checks.
