Story

The farm Alto Cedruyoc sits at a high altitude of 1870 metres above sea level, and located a short distance from the District of Yanatile in the Province Calca, Peru. The land at this farm is managed by Don Emilio Gutierres Nieble and his wife Delfina Saez – at 55 years of age, Don Emilio has been producing coffee for a very long time and together with his wife, they dedicate their time and energy towards healthy agriculture and the growth of their wonderful coffee trees. 

The land managed by Don Emilio and Delfina is four hectares in size, and is all planted with the varieties Bourbon and Geisha. This particular lot, an Anaerobic Washed Bourbon, is processed with the team at Valleinca and is a classicly washed coffee with a slightly longer fermentation time. Valleinca is committed to environmental and economic sustainability, with organic and fair trade certifications, and they exist to help the local small coffee farmers around them such as Don Emilio and Delfina.

Origin

Cusco, Peru

In the south-east of Peru, the Cusco region sits at an elevation that ranges from 900 to 2000 metres above sea level. Producers here tend to grow Caturra, Bourbon, and Typica, grown across the 13 provinces that subdivide the Cusco region. 

The vast majority of coffee producers in this mountainous region are “smallholder” farmers in the truest sense, with an average farm size of 2 hectares (a little less than 5 acres). Thanks to local governmental support that facilitated access to fertilisers, tools, and improved wet mill infrastructure, many farmers in the region were able to improve their production yields and overall quality in recent years.
