GRACIELA ESPINOZA
This coffee comes from Graciela Espinoza, a smallholder producer in Las Pirias near Chirinos in northern Peru. We source her coffee through Finca Churupampa, a local farm and exporter that supports small producers in the region with processing, drying infrastructure and access to the specialty market. Graciela grows Caturra and Pache at around 1900 masl, where cool temperatures and a slow ripening period help develop complexity in the cherries. Producing naturals here requires careful attention due to the humid harvest climate, so only the ripest cherries are selected and dried slowly on raised beds. The result is a sweet and fruity coffee with notes of strawberry, orange, yellow kiwi and cacao.
