El Palto comes from smallholder farmers in the Chachapoyas region of northern Peru. The coffee is produced by the Asociación de Productores Cafetaleros Juan Marco El Palto (JUMARP), a cooperative started in 2003 with 35 farmers and now grown to 189 members farming 549 hectares. Forty of these families are women-led, with active roles on the Board of Directors. Farms are located 1,600–1,800 masl, where cool weather and fertile soils allow the cherries to ripen slowly, bringing sweetness and clarity. Producers handpick ripe cherries and use washed processing to bring out a bright, clean cup. This lot features a blend between Typica and Bourbon, offering balance, smooth body, and natural sweetness
