Celebrating Transitions: Growing quality markets where the Andes meets the Amazon
The department of Cusco in Peru is full of natural beauty and powerful Incan history and culture. The region is where the high mountain peaks of the Andes transition to the forests of the Peruvian Amazon. Yanatile is located here, in the remote eastern edge of the department. Valle Inca is a cooperative that supports smallholder growers in Peru and works with the smallholders in remote Yanatile and throughout the region. These small farms nestled in the forested foothills average only 2-3 hectares each, or around 5-7 acres.
Headquartered in Calca, the leadership of Valle Inca have put everything they have into improving quality and access to specialty markets since the formation of the group in 2014. They are dedicated to working with producers to maximize their resources to improve coffee production, processing, and storage. Examples include converting plastic drying patios to raised beds, upgrades to sorting and quality control, use of grainpro bags for coffee that is fully dried but still in parchment, and organic certification.
This small microlot comes to us from Leandra Montalvo Bedoya’s 1 hectacre plot in the community of Rataratayoc in Yanatile. Leandra grows bourbon coffee trees, a popular specialty variety often grown in southern Peru, known for vibrant sweetness and complexity. The ripe cherries are depulped and fermented 36-46 hours in cement tanks before being fully washed, then the washed beans are left to dry on raised beds for 15-20 days.
12 oz / 340 g. Whole bean.

I have, for years, received a rotating cast of delicious coffees each month. Each coffee has its own color and profile. I embrace the delicious variety and couldn’t choose a single favorite.
