The Alarcon family’s farm, La Palestina, is located just outside of the town of Jaen, in Cajamarca, Peru.

This is the fourth year we’ve purchased from them. This lot, produced by Zobeida Alarcon, is delicious. It has a character of yellow fruit (pineapple, mango) and a sweet, juicy body.

In 2019, Zobeida’s coffee placed in the 11th in Peru’s Cup of Excellence competition, using traditional varieties.
