Peru Origin Report 2023

We travled back in Cajamarca, Peru! To check in on one of favorite producers, Gilmer Mejia and taste this years harvest.

This is peak season for harvest right now and the coffee is rolling in. Join us along the road every cup of coffee must take.

This is the first of a series of videos that will explore this unique Journey.

These small mountain communities are the heart and soul of Peruvian coffee. Never mind the two days of air travel it takes to get to the sprawling coffee city of Jaen, Peru. @gilmer_cordova farm is another 3-hour drive up and down a slim mountain road. Just past the town of San Francisco and Agua Colorado lies Finca Ecologica.

"What struck me was the sophisticated organization of the farms. The coffee trees were easily 16 feet tall in places and in very organized rows. This creates very large yields and easy picking compared to some South American countries I've visited. The sophistication of the wet mills and drying beds also was impressive."
