Carlos Saenz

Carlos Saenz is an SL9 coffee producer in Cusco, Peru. SEY’s November 2024 Chirimoyayoc release came from Incahuasi at 1,900 meters; a later release was identified as Machay Pata near Amaybamba. The two named releases are kept distinct rather than treated as one farm.

History

SEY met Carlos during its exploration of Cusco’s remote high-elevation coffee areas. His Chirimoyayoc lot became part of the roaster’s early SL9 project, and a later Machay Pata release continued that relationship.
