About this coffee
Did we say already that Peru is turning into one of our favourite origins ?? Well, this stunner from Elider Cruz simply reinforces that statement. Based in the Sallique municipality of the famous Cajamarca growing region Finca El Chamanal sits above a lofty 2300m where Elider grows this Pacamara alongside Caturra.
The history of coffee on this farm only goes back as far as 2008 when local municipality of Sallique promoted the establishment of coffee seedlings as part of a community bio-garden initiative. Through this program, families were provided with young coffee plants to cultivate on their own land.
This initiative marked the beginning of Elider’s journey into coffee production. Motivated by the opportunity and eager to learn, he began planting coffee on his farm. Over the years, he has steadily improved his knowledge and production practices, refining both his agronomic management and processing techniques to enhance quality.
