About the Producer

Jose Herrera owns the 2.75-hectare farm El Cipres in the Huabal region of Cajamarca. The farm is close to a waterfall called Chorro Blanco, and is the last coffee-farming plot before the village of Agua Colorada gives way to the forest. Jose is a promising producer who is very careful with his harvesting and processing, and is a founding producer of Lima Coffees: Coffees are selectively picked and depulped, then fermented for 22–25 hours before being washed and dried slowly under shade cover for 30 days.
