Story

Located in the Cusco region of southern Peru, Finca Sampedroyuc sits at a wonderfully high altitude that is perfect for slow maturation of the fruit for its coffee trees. The slower the maturation, the more complex and structured the cup profile can develop to become, and this makes the lots from this farm wonderfully exciting. 

Spanning a generous ten hectares, this farm in the mountains is managed by specialty coffee producer Yolanda Cabrera Alvarez, a daughter of coffee producers. Together with her family, she cultivates the finca in an environmentally conscious way, allowing the natural terroir to express itself through the coffee in the way nature intends it to.

Yolanda and Finca Sampedroyuc have been involved with our exporting partner in Peru, Valle del Inca, who help local producers across the area with technical support both during harvest and in processing. This particular lot, a Washed Caturra, underwent careful fermentation after pulping to remove all remaining mucilage before being thoroughly washed and dried for 15-20 days.

Origin

Cusco, Calca, Peru

Peru is known for its rich cultural history, incredible landscapes and world heritage sights. However, it is quickly becoming renowned for its cultivation of quality coffee, characterised by rich soils, microclimates and unique expressions of well-known varieties. 

The region of Cusco, located in the country’s south, has 53,580 coffee growing hectares producing just over 30,000 tonnes of coffee per year. There are many outstanding co-operatives and organisations that are responsible for this amount of coffee being produced in Cusco, as well as its growing popularity in the specialty coffee market. Coffees from Cusco have won many national and international awards, and a lot of the Cup of Excellence winners in Peru are from the region.
