Efrain Carhuallocllo Salvador owns a 4 hectare farm in the El Corazon village in the district of Chirinos. Efrain is one of Peru's most famous coffee farmers having come second in the country's first ever Cup of Excellence competition. His extreme care, precision and love of innovation have also won him numerous other accolades.
Efrain grows red and yellow Caturra on his farm alongside some Geisha. Once picked, this Caturra lot was allowed to rest in plastic bags for 24 hours in the shade before being transferred to raised African style drying beds . These are in a temperature and humidity controlled environment where the drying time can be up to 40 days.
This coffee is ripe with delicious flavours of berries that are supported by a caramel sweetness and a pleasing lime like acidity that adds the final zing to elevate this coffee to the realms of the ethereal.
