Farm Profile
Owner Alejandro Pérez
Location La Copia, San Ignacio, Cajamarca, Peru
Farm Size 7 hectares
Altitude 1 850 masl
Variety Marshell (a Bourbon-Typica hybrid valued for high cup quality)
Process Fully washed with slow patio drying

Tasting Notes
Panela sugar · Peach compote · Cocoa nib · Orange blossom aroma · Caramel finish

Brew Guide
Pour-Over 15 g coffee • 250 g water at 93 °C • 30 s bloom • 3 min total
Espresso 18 g in • 40 g out • 27 s • 93 °C
French Press 18 g • 300 g water • 4 min steep • gentle plunge

Why It Stands Out
• Volcanic soil rich in organic matter enhances mineral uptake
• High altitude and diurnal temperature swings intensify sweetness and aroma
• Marshell variety offers both disease resilience and complex flavor

Sustainability & Impact
Alejandro practices selective picking, on-site composting, and water-saving fermentation. Direct trade premiums support farm reinvestment and local community projects.

Experience the vibrant character of Cajamarca in every sip, a testament to precise farming, mindful processing, and the unique genetics of the Marshell variety.
