About the people who grow it
Peru is a country which has great potential but for various reasons it is extremely hard to find coffee scoring at 87+ once landed in consuming countries. The potential is there: the country is the 8th largest producer of coffee in the world, has plenty of farms at and above 1600 and 1800 meters, and has predominantly Typica and Bourbon varieties. All of these conditions, together with training the small farmers to improve their agricultural practices, and enhancing the process throughout the chain of production, has the potential to give us truly high-end Peruvian coffee.
