Description
Sweet and Refreshing like Dry Apple Cider with Orange Peel and Mulling Spices
Freddy Huayhua is relatively new to coffee but his entry into becoming a producer in the community of Kantutani is both exciting and encouraging to us in our decade plus investment there.
We befriended his neighbor Juan Jose Machicado when he was at a similar stage in life with two young children dreaming of where specialty coffee could take them. It was Juan Jose’s success in Kantutani that inspired Freddy to take up coffee along with a handful of other young upstarts.
We’re already seeing great potential from Freddy and his young farm. The future is bright in Kantutani, it always has been. Sometimes it will take a long commitment and patience to see it. We’re so glad we do.
