An organic lot from the El Palto Agroecological Producers Association, in the Chingama valley of Jaén, Cajamarca, in northern Peru. Founded in 2007 by 25 smallholders, the association has grown around a clear goal: to compete in certified specialty coffee while improving the lives of coffee-growing families through environmental care, equity and gender inclusion. Third-generation families grow Caturra, Bourbonand Catimor under shade at 1,600–1,800 metres, where cherries ripen slowly and develop more sweetness. Selective handpicking, careful fermentation and controlled drying give a clean, structuredwashed coffee with notes of plum, toffee apple and brown sugar.
