Starting our new season Peru, this first release is from our longstanding producing partners Valle Inca. This is our eighth year working with the group, to showcase individual producers’ lots as well as create community blends so that we can feature their coffees across our whole coffee menu. A new name for us, we’re really loving this floral and fruity Bourbon selection from Eusebia Rudas Camara, on her farm Finca Pukamocco. Eusebia has various shade trees on her farm, including Erythrina Falcata (Pisonay). The coffee plants are nourished with homemade compost. In processing her harvested coffee cherries, Eusebia first floats them in water to skim off the less dense fruit. The fermented coffee is fully washed in clean water and treated in wells. Valle Inca Association works with over 375 producers in the Cusco region, providing agronomical advice, training, and pre-financing. They remain in touch with their members throughout the year to hear their progress and maintain an open dialogue.
