We're extremely pleased that our fresh crop Peruvian Project 121 coffees have landed!

Each is Fairtrade-certified and Organic, and was grown in the Cajamarca region in Northern Peru, an area nestled high in the Andes where heights reach up to 2,700 MASL.

Project 121 has been designed to provide Australian roasters with the chance to build direct, secure partnerships with a single producer. Each season we select a limited number of single-farmer microlots on the basis of the quality and sustainability of the product.

Juan Cedro Quispe Rivera

Mr Rivera lives with his wife, Olga, and their two children in the Coipa district of San Ignacio, Peru on their farm, El Cedro.
Juan is very committed to cup quality; he picks his cherries in the mornings and processes them (de-pulping and washing them) the same day, usually in the late afternoon. By completing the task in a short time period, he reduces the chance of any deterioration in cup quality.

Augusto Vasquez Llamo

Mr. Llamo has grown coffee on his 4-hectare farm, Santa Maria, for 17 years. Approximately half of his trees are of the Catimor varietal, 30% are Typica, and the remaining 20% are Yellow Caturra. Augusto has a great reputation for quality – last season his coffee was selected as one of the best in the region by his co-operative.

Andres Guevara Ruiz

At more than 60 years old, Andres Guevara Ruiz is the only worker on his farm, La Palma - although he does hire helpers to assist with picking in the harvest season. He primarily grows Caturra and Bourbon varietals, but has recently introduced some Catimor trees too. He’s been a member of Sol y Café since it was founded and consistently produces wonderful lots.
