About This Coffee
The Region
One of the 14 districts of La Convencion province is Echarati, this is also is the largest district of the province and its capital, with the same name, is an hour drive northeast from the provinces’ capital: Quillabamba. With over 9,000 km2 of green areas part of Peru’s Rainforest, Echarati is one of the largest districts in the country ranging from 300 to 1,100 meters above sea level. Temperature in the high jungle of Echarati ranges from 18 to 26 °C and has an annual rainfall between 2,100 to 2,600 mm. Due to its location, weather conditions and the shape of the valley, one can find many different microclimates that benefit Echarati with a high quality and yields of tropical products such as coffee, cacao and citric fruits. Pompeya farm, our final destination in Echarati, located at 1,700 meters above sea level is a 3-hour drive from the city of Quillabamba.
The Process
After success in 2020 with their semi-shade- dried red honey, Latorre family were delighted but not fully satisfied. They knew they could do better still.
They continued tweaking the process by increasing the fermentation process up to an average of 30 hours of fermentation. This year, they wanted to have even more control on the drying phase, so they decided to go for a fully shade-dried for about 28 days. This juicy and silky coffee lot is the result of those efforts.
As if their quality improvement efforts weren’t enough, true to their sustainable vision they purchased 146 hectares of land dedicated for reforestation. This insetting project will store a massive amount of carbon from the air and make a significant carbon footprint reduction of the whole operation. Needless to say, we are extremely proud and happy to work with such dedicated coffee family. We hope as much as you that this coffee will get better in the cup and better for the environment every year.
