SOURCING

The beautiful and picturesque farm of La Margarita is located in the region of Cusco, Peru, an area that boasts diverse and successful agricultural sector. The farm is managed by producer Marco Solórzano, one of seven brothers who belong to the Solórzano family project. 

Over many years, the Solórzano family have planted over seventy thousand introduced plants of various coffee tree varieties, including varieties Red, Orange and Yellow Geishas, Red Bourbon and Sidra. This family project has been going since 2017, and it appears their momentum will continue driving them for many years to come.

Marco and La Margarita’s most recent entry into the Cup of Excellence Peru saw them collect the 6th place award with this washed Red Geisha coffee, scoring 89.13 points. This 2021 entry was truly a stand out coffee, and we believe it is representative of the profiles that are produced by Marco and his trees at La Margarita.

Origin

Cusco, 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.

An organisation that has helped many of the winning coffee producers from Cusco improve their quality and yield is Three Monkeys Coffee, which was founded in 2013 by three friends who set out on a mission to bring the best coffee to the city of coffee. They have coffee shops in Cusco city centre as well as a wide network of people sharing their expertise across the coffee growing regions in Cusco.
