Peru El Cedro Orlando Pedraza Ramirez
The farm where the coffee comes from, El Cedro, is located in the village of San Antonio in the Jaen province of the Cajamarca region of Northern Peru. It is located in the Andes mountain range and has irrigated and very fertile soil for coffee cultivation. The average temperature in the region is 24C along the road.
Orlando Pedraza Ramirez, the second-generation owner of the farm, works on the farm with his family. He also employs outside workers during busy times.
They grow mostly Catimor type of bread in their 2 hectare areas, as well as varieties such as Catuai, Caturra, Bourbon, and Geisha.
Peru has a very humid climate, so the washed coffee method is generally preferred in the region. However, Orlando decided to opt for the natural process in 2019 to increase the variety and make their coffees more noticeable.
Although he started by drying in the courtyard, he preferred to use African beds raised off the ground to ensure a better and more balanced drying process.
