Trip to Santa Rosa Village, Northern Peru

Typica Arabica Cherries

The village of Santa Rosa is in the El Molino region of the province of Jean and stands at 1702 meters above sea level, as we neared we were welcomed by 18 farmers keen to show us their farms.  First impressions are of a tidy, prosperous village with a very strong community. Each house has a farm of around 1.5 – 2.5 hectares (an exceptionally large farm is 5 hectares) where coffee is farmed then pulped and dried before being transported to the Sol & Café Cooperative in Jean.
