Lucio Luque in Peru

Sorting beans

Rich volcanic soil

Combined with rich volcanic soil and meltwater from a nearby glacier keeping temperatures consistently low, these conditions produce exceptional sweetness and clarity in the cup.

Farm with mountains in the background

Lucio Luque, the producer, is a member of the Incahuasi cooperative, situated on the slopes of Choqesafra and named after the remote Incahuasi valley where its members farm.

Stable conditions

Processing takes place at the farm itself, and at more than 2,200 meters above sea level, the stable conditions at this altitude translate directly to consistency and precision in the final cup. Luque's work speaks for itself: he has placed highly in the Cup of Excellence on multiple occasions, including a second-place finish in 2019.

Balanced and round.
