ESTRELLA DIVINA PROJECT

Thanks to the farm’s Altitude, the cultivated varieties, and the presence of the beneficio and the overall quality and disposition of Eduardo, his farm has been allowed to take part in the project called “Estrella Divina”. Started in 2017, the project aims to produce the best coffees in the region through continuous training of farmers on the fermentation process and drying as well as support for quality control.

The farmers who participate in the “Estrella Divina” Project are smallholders with 1-3 hectares each, and are located in high altitudes close to the Rumpite village in La Coipa, situated in the north of Peru. La Coipa is one of the main coffee producing regions of Peru. The producers are part of a coffee quality program and have to be organic certified. The producer premiums are higher compared to many other programs, but the expected quality is also higher. The altitude ranges from 1600 – 2100 masl. They mainly grow Caturra, Pache, and Bourbon. The farmers have their small individual beneficios where they depulp, ferment, wash, and dry the coffee themselves. Fermentation time is normally between 13-18 hours and drying takes 12-20 days. The lots are evaluated separately before they are approved.
