UMAPATA

Honey, apricot, walnuts

This lot is from Café Orígenes and Cooperativa Agraria Orígenes del Valle de Lacco, grown by 11 smallholder farms in the Umapata community in the Lacco Valley, Cusco. Initially, only four of the 41 families in the community were part of the cooperative, a number that has now grown to 11. The altitude here ranges from 1,900 to 2,450 meters above sea level, which is ideal for producing high-quality coffee. The area was not known for coffee production 20-30 years ago due to colder temperatures, but the high altitude is now seen as a perfect growing condition.
