The mountains of Peru are home to various microclimates that all lend themselves to growing delicious coffee.

The different compositions of Peruvian terrain (volcanic soil, red soil, clay soil), mixed with the varying altitudes anywhere between 900m -2400m, the species pollinating the coffee flower trees, and the overall biodiversity of an area complemented with high quality varietals creates impressive results.

Organic growing practices are standard procedure for Peruvian coffee, which are handpicked and carefully sorted for quality.

Gregorio is a producer whose approach is rooted in tradition, upholding the values of his family, whilst also focusing on innovation and experimenting with new varieties and processing techniques. Whilst farms surrounding Finca Voller have switched from coffee to cattle, Gregorio has persisted, not wanting to deforest the land, striving to protect the natural forest and show the community that coffee can be profitable and worthwhile.

Since 2017, Manuel Baca (pictured right) has been deeply involved in managing and improving the family farm, Finca Pacpa, in the Amazonas region of Peru. Coffee production is ingrained into this family's history, a fourth generation farmer himself and many of his relatives are coffee producers in their own right, so it comes as no surprise that this coffee is simply excellent.

The Amazonas region where Manuel’s farm is located is a vast region in the north of Peru. The harvest season is a little later than most in Peru because of the high altitudes, and it usually finishes around October. It’s filled with valleys shaped around the Marañón River, which runs through the region until it eventually joins the Ucayali River, which is considered the start of the Amazon River.

Pasco, where Gregorio’s farm is located, is also another fairly sized region in central Peru. Pozuzo is a mountainous jungle area, hot and humid most of the time, and roughly 1600-1800m high. There are mixed cultures in the region, with many Indigenous communities such as the Yanesha people, who have made the land their home.
