Mujeres de Cusco is made from the offerings of three women coffee producers: Victoria Quispe Mamani, Paulina Mamani Ormachea, and Marta Escalante Quispinga, all of whom produce outstanding coffees.
These three women live in the district of Yanatile, located approximately four hours from the central city of Cusco in Southern Peru. While farmers in Yanatile grow citrus and cocoa, coffee is the primary crop, and even appears on the district's coat of arms.
Yanatile's history with coffee stretches back over 50 years. Most of the population is from the area, and speaks the native language Quechua. The lush, fertile valleys in Yanatile are an idea climate for growing coffee, but transporting the crop can be extremely challenging. Very few farms have access to a road, so it takes several hours of densely foliated slopes to reach most of the farms.
In the cup, we're tasting notes of refreshing white grape, decadent nougat, and a body that's light and floral. This is a standout coffee from southern Peru. The lot is very small, so don't wait too long before ordering your bag.
Frequently Asked Questions
When Will My Order Ship?
Most orders ship the next business day from when they are placed, unless that is a holiday.
The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.
Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?
Yes!
First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.
Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.
Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.
Any other questions? Just drop us a line.
Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?
While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.
All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.
Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.
