About this coffee:
This lot is comprised of two different farms that have been selectively hand-picked by our exporting partners in Peru, Alpes Andinos. El Aliso and La Palta are managed by two women who are actually sisters-in-law – Emelina Coronel Cervera and Dina Davila Diaz.
Emelina lives in a small village called Agua Colorada which is roughly one hour from the town of Flor del Norte. Her 3-hectare farm, El Aliso, is named after a tree present throughout the land, grown for household wood usage. She primarily grows the Bourbon varietal.
On the other hand, Dina’s 2-hectare farm, La Palta, is situated in Flor del Norte, and is named ‘the avocado’ after the fruit that is common within this area of Peru. She grows Typica and Caturra on her farm; and works with her husband Orlando who also grows coffee in the region. All three of whom have been members of Alpes Andinos since 2021. From Flor del Norte, it is roughly a 4-hour journey to Jaen, the association’s headquarters.
Preorders are cut off on the 15th of every month, and ship early the following month
