High in the páramos lives Don Sebastián Gaucha Huamán, a coffee farmer and proud member of the Purmurco community, whose members are known as the guardians of the highlands. On his farm, El Roble, Don Sebastián cultivates 1.5 hectares of land, tending it daily with dedication and perseverance. For him, coffee is not merely a crop, but a legacy; one that must be protected and passed on with responsibility. He understands that from the páramos flow water, life, and the livelihoods of many families. 

A páramo is a tropical alpine tundra and they are one of the world’s rarest ecosystems, with Peru being one of the few countries to feature them. The páramos are a unique hub of biodiversity and play a major role in the communities that lie below them. This coffee, grown at 2100M of elevation just below the páramos, is a beautiful fully washed lot from Finca El Roble, and gives us notes of white honey, raspberry jam, and apple fritter.
