History

Gilber Huayllas learned the craft of coffee production side-by-side with his father, Feliciano. He continues to operate the family farm, which is located at an extremely high altitude of approximately 2,380 meters. Due to the challenging terrain and high elevation, he is often among the last producers in the region to harvest each season.
