Mama's Notes
La Esperanza, meaning “hope,” embodies Fidel’s ambition to craft extraordinary coffee and set a new standard in his region. A third-generation coffee farmer, he inherited the land from his father and expanded it by 1.5 hectares, fully committing to his vision. Over five years, he transitioned from aging Catimor and Pache trees to a single-variety Yellow Caturra, a cultivar that thrives in northern Peru’s terroir, consistently delivering exceptional cup scores and outstanding yields. Fidel’s relentless dedication to quality shines through in every detail—he follows best practices from the regional cooperative but elevates them with his own meticulous approach to farm management and worker training, ensuring each harvest surpasses the last.

This particular lot is a masterclass in natural processing. Fidel and his parents hand-select only the ripest cherries before carefully controlling fermentation, adjusting to temperature and weather conditions for optimal development. Post-fermentation, the cherries undergo a precise drying process on raised beds and in a solar dryer for 6 to 8 days, allowing flavors to concentrate and sugars to develop beautifully. The result? A vibrant, complex coffee that captures the essence of La Esperanza—proof that passion, precision, and patience create something truly extraordinary in the cup.
