Origins

Getting to the origin of this microlot is a little complicated. Let’s begin with Peru – country famous for its silky, balanced and chocolatey sweet coffee. Farmers in Andes have been growing coffee plants since the 18th century and it’s one of the most important exports, as popular as it is worldwide.

In the South of Peru lies the Cusco region. Known as the “Gateway to Machu Picchu”, the conditions around this area are perfect for growing great coffee – and for tourism, too.

In Cusco, you’ll find an area by the name La Convencion. Its topography is quite wild, full of great mountains and plunging valleys – and one of those slopes holds Mrs. Bertha’s farm. Her coffee plantations cover not even 3 hectares, all of that in altitude of about 2,000m. Her coffee, a Bourbon variety originating from Yemen, is popular due to its fruity, floral and chocolate notes. On the other hand, it’s quite vulnerable to disease and pests – hence the high price for Bourbon arabicas.

But back to Mrs. Bertha’s farm. Given the name Finca Rosaspampa, the staff there provides the coffee with utmost care. Coffee cherries are exclusively hand-picked, sorted and fermented without oxygen for 36 hours. After this process, the cherries are rid of pulp and the obtained coffee beans are dried in special machines and periodically stirred to avoid molding. Once they’re dry enough, they’re transferred to another special drying room and then finally exported. Thanks to this unique preparation process Peru Bertha Huaylla Sayllo Bourbon Anaerobic can offer an unrivaled gourmet experience. The anaerobic fermentation gives it with a rich fruity taste while the rare variety of the coffee provides tones of chocolate.

Coffee packaging preview

Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
