Kukipata
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
Kukipata is owned and operated by Alejandrina Maytan. The farm is situated in a region where the cultivation of the SL-9 variety has become a significant part of the local agricultural identity in the Inkawasi Valley.
Challenges
The farm operates in a remote, high-altitude environment where the specific climate and terrain of the Inkawasi Valley influence the slow maturation of coffee cherries.
Innovations
For SEY's documented November 2025 lot, ripe cherry was floated and depulped the day of harvest, wet-fermented for 32 hours, washed, and dried on raised beds to 10.5% moisture.
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.

Research sources & verification
These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
