Well balanced with sweet chocolate, stone fruits, apple flavours and a rounded finish This Yellow Caturra lot comes from La Chirimoya, where Hector Saavedra leads a tight-knit collective of 10 farming families. Hand-picked and fully washed, the coffee was sun-dried for 15 days—capturing the spirit and care of this passionate Peruvian community. We paid 68% above the Fair Trade Price for this coffee. Learn why. A lifelong coffee producer, Hector Saavedra has been nurturing La Chirimoya since childhood. Today, he leads a collective of ten families in Cajamarca, working side by side to cultivate coffee that speaks to their shared pride and perseverance. Through partnerships with local coffee associations, Hector has helped shape their farms into emerging agritourism destinations, welcoming visitors to experience everything from farm tours to live coffee auctions. These initiatives not only honour the heritage of the region but also create lasting opportunities for the next generation of producers. With the support of Cofinet and a focus on quality from harvest to export, Hector’s first internationally shared lot offers a beautifully rounded cup, proof of what’s possible when passion and purpose grow side by side.
