About Producer & Farm
About the Producer
Efraín Torres Calle is the first in his family to grow coffee. He runs Sumaq Urqu with his wife and children. In 2019, he planted SL09, wanting to grow a specialty coffee with its own character, and has been learning how it grows on his high-altitude land ever since.
About the Farm
Sumaq Urqu means "beautiful mountain" in Quechua. The 1.8-hectare farm sits around 2,000 m in Sillapata, Inkawasi, in Cusco's La Convención province. Cool, humid weather and big day–night temperature swings slow ripening down. The coffee grows under shade among dense vegetation, alongside red and yellow Geisha, Bourbon and Typica.
SL09 is a rare variety that traces back to the Scott Labs selections in Kenya. In Inkawasi, it's sometimes called "Inca Gesha" for its large, long beans, but it's a different variety from Geisha.
