Ericson Luque

Ericson Luque is a young, second-generation coffee producer in Amaybamba, Cusco, Peru, and the son of producer Lucio Luque. SEY’s 2025 release documents his one-hectare Nueva Esperanza garden at 2,000 meters above sea level, planted with the locally named SL9 variety.

History

SEY reports that Luque manages the garden himself and uses traditional, regenerative farming practices passed down from his father. For the November 2024 lot, the roaster documented hand-picking, flotation, same-day depulping, 36 hours of dry fermentation, and drying in a parabolic dryer; those steps are release-specific rather than permanent farm claims.

A producer may be listed for one explicitly documented component of a blend, not the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot or harvest. Check the individual coffee profiles and original research sources.
