El Nevado
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
El Nevado is a coffee farm located in the Inkawasi region of Cusco, Peru, managed by producer Marlene Rojas Pereira. The farm has gained recognition for its high-quality production, with roasters noting that Rojas's coffee was among the first they explored in the Santa Teresa area. Her work has contributed to the growing reputation of the Cusco region for producing exceptional, high-altitude specialty coffee.
Challenges
The farm operates in a region characterized by extreme terrain and high altitudes, which requires careful management to maintain consistent quality.
Innovations
The farm utilizes meticulous processing techniques, including hand-picking cherries at peak ripeness, floating to remove defects, and a 30-hour dry fermentation process before drying on raised beds.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
