Peru Yulisa Carhuallocllo Lot 2984 Farmlevel Reserve

Yulisa Ester Carhuallocllo and her husband, Jeremias Chinguel Huancas founded “La Miel” to be a quality-focused farm. They grow Bourbon, Caturra, and Gesha varieties with meticulous attention to proper agronomic techniques and modern processing. The farm’s namesake comes from the honey they gather from their beekeeping operation. These bees pollinate the coffee blossoms, as well as interplanted guava and orange trees, for a biodiverse system. Yulisa reinvests revenue into expanding her farm to increase production, as well as her fledgling local roasting brand.

Peru has long been overlooked, but is gradually turning heads for producing high quality coffee that rivals its neighboring powerhouse producing countries. As a country, it has navigated a series of pivotal agrarian, economic, and social reforms. Today, Peru is positioned as the highest-volume exporter of certified organic coffee in the world, with 75% of coffee produced by 223,000 smallholder farmers. Producers like Yulisa and Jeremias play a crucial role to bring awareness to the quality potential of this country’s coffee, one bag at a time. We managed to secure one bag of this tiny Gesha Lot 2984, and we’re excited to bring it to you in this special Reserve edition.
