Bean Profile

In the Quechua language of Peru, “Minca” refers to a particular camaraderie between farmers. While producers will hire help for the harvest, during the year, they depend on their neighbors. Groups will travel from farm to farm, accomplishing what needs to be done before moving on to the next farm. This idea of caring for the whole — this social bond — is known as Minca.

This delicious coffee is grown in the area between the Andes Mountains and the rainforest known as the ceja de selva, or, “jungle entrance.” It’s a region rich in biodiversity and with very asymmetrical topography, which creates different types of airflows that help coffee trees to flourish.

We loved this coffee from the first sample roast, and we’re confident you’ll enjoy it, too!
