Profile image · identity and location not independently authenticated
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
Counter Culture and its supply-chain partners began separating Lucio’s coffee from the larger Incahuasi cooperative blend after its quality stood out. The archived product was marketed as Gesha and used in the 2023 U.S. Barista Championship; newer Counter Culture reporting identifies the same locally named Inca Gesha material as closest to SL9. Lucio’s coffee placed second in Peru’s 2019 Cup of Excellence.
Challenges
The farm is located in a remote, high-altitude region where producers must navigate complex logistical hurdles to access markets and maintain consistent quality. Farmers in the Incahuasi Valley also face the ongoing challenge of accurately identifying coffee varieties due to natural mutations and outcrossing in the field.
Innovations
Intentional single-parcel separation, repeated genetic testing, raised-bed drying adoption, and direct traceability through the cooperative supply chain.

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.
