The coffee story
This coffee was short-listed by the Cup of Excellence (CoE) jury in Peru this year. It was cupped 4 times by an experienced team selected by Central de Café y Cacao, the organization behind the local CoE chapter, in Lima in preparation for the auction. This lot didn't make it to the international phase. However, this is an outstanding coffee amongst the best the country can offer! Santiago's coffee is being offered exclusively to roasters in Europe for direct sales for the first time this harvest. The initiative is being coordinated by Algrano in partnership with Central de Café y Cacao and Pachamama Inversiones with support from the Alliance for Coffee Excellence (ACE).

My family received Finca Ccorihuayrachina from the government as part of the agrarian reform in 1967. The land was designated to us by the committee of Paylabamba of the District of Yanatile. I acquired 25 hectares as a transfer of use to be able to drive it and produce basic products. Since then I have introduced new crops to the region and pushing the local production forward. I only started growing coffee in 2015, when I realized I had privileged conditions for it. I chose with the Bourbon and Typica varieties to begin with, sowing an area of only 3 hectares. Now, with the support from projects lead by the Municipality of Yanatile, we are improving the production quality, introducing solar dryers and drying on raised beds. We also learned about coffee fermentation to improve our quality and this lot is a result of such efforts.
