What Ginger Monkey says about this coffee
This natural Java from Finca Lauramarca in Cusco is unlike anything else on our shelves. Grown at 1,950m on a tiny family farm and sun-dried with a touch of controlled oxidation, it’s clean, fruity and full of character. A very small lot, so grab it while you can.
Finca Lauramarca is a 2.5 hectare family farm run by Hilario Ccoyo in Moyomonte, Huayopata, in Peru’s Cusco region. Just half a hectare is planted with Java. The farm sits in a ravine at 1,950m, where cool, humid conditions slow the cherries’ development and build dense, sweet beans.
The Java trees weren’t planted through any formal programme. Hilario selected and propagated them himself. His daughters nicknamed them “Bourbon Papa”, and only later were they identified as Java. He doesn’t rush harvests, force yields or chase trends, and only four bags of this coffee were produced.
After picking, the cherries are floated and washed to remove defects, then laid out in the sun for three days so controlled oxidation can begin. They then spend 12 days in a solar dryer, where airflow and temperature are carefully managed. The result is clean and distinctive, somewhere between a classic washed and a typical natural.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
