Peru

Finca Churupampa is a very progressive coffee farm in Chirinos, Cajamarca, Peru. The Tocto brothers took over the farm’s operations from their parents several years ago and are transforming it into a model for economically and environmentally sustainable coffee production. In addition to selling coffee from their own farm, the Toctos provide export and marketing services for 215 neighboring farmers. Finca Churupampa has a training center that is open to the entire community, and works with farmers to improve their production practices to break a cycle of poverty that has entrapped farmers in the region for many years.

Impact:

Churupampa is highly focused on the welfare of both the coffee producers and the environment. They provide farmers with opportunities to improve production practices, are focused on organic farming, and utilize a soil management program which produces fertilizers and compost using a diverse selection of microorganisms gathered from the surrounding forest.

Flavor profile 

The newest lot of Peru Churupampa exhibits many of the same qualities that we love about this coffee: deep sweetness, crisp acidity, syrupy body and a clean finish. Truly a versatile coffee that works fantastically as a batch brew, a pour-over or as a single-origin espresso. Across the roast spectrum we tasted notes of green apple, caramel, nougat, brown sugar, and dark chocolate. Lighter roasts tend to be crisp and juicy, while darker roasts display a heavier body and muted acidity.
