A female-produced Peruvian coffee that reminds us of tropical fruits and lollies.

Luz Emerita Herrera Villanueva owns El Eucalipto farm in La Higuera village, south of Jaén (Colasay district of Peru).

Coffee is the primary source of her income, alongside growing bananas. Luz is content with how far she has come—proud of her family and the effort they’ve all put into carrying the business out.

Since the farm is operating, they’ve only planted and sold Bourbon varietal but Luz is currently considering expanding their farmlands and to grow Geisha as well.

At El Eucalipto, yields are relatively strong, with an average productivity of 20 quintales of parchment per hectare (~1100kg/ha). Flowering occurs during August and September, and harvest spans from July through August.

All the images and information about this coffee and its producers have been kindly shared by the importer, Condesa, and edited by us, Sample Coffee (unless linked to or credited otherwise).
