Peru Elvis Tineo Rafael Natural

• Contains one bag (150 g) of Peru Elvis Tineo Rafael Natural, Arabica whole coffee bean.

• Elvis Reynerio Tineo Rafael is a third-generation farmer whose farm, La Naranja located in the highlands of Jaen. The nearby forest and frequent rainfall create a cool, humid microclimate; soils are clay-loam with a suitable pH for coffee. Elvis manages the farm with a small team of four, using a mix of organic matter and mineral fertilisers, and reusing coffee by-products to build soil health. Agriculture here is rain-fed, and like many producers in Cajamarca, he faces climate-related drought and the persistent challenge of coffee leaf rust. Despite these challenges, he’s proud to continue his family’s legacy and to produce coffees enjoyed far beyond Peru. His hope is for roasters to recognise quality with better, differentiated prices, helping him realise his goal of building a truly sustainable farming enterprise.
