La Montaña is a regional lot sourced exclusively from a co-operative produced by small-scale coffee farmers from San Ignacio, located in the province of San Ignacio, Cajamarca department, at 1.700 m above sea level. In San Ignacio summers are cloudy and winters are long, a combination that has proved to be ideal for coffee as it secures a wide window without rain for drying.
They have an adequate climate, which allows us to express the maximum potential of our varieties such as Typica, Bourbon, Mundo Novo, Catuai, Caturra Rojo and Amarillo.
The farms of these coffee farmers are at an average altitude of 1400-1700 m.a.s.l. They primarily cultivate Catimor, Pache, and Typica varieties. This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, then floated and hand-sorted to eliminate any defects. The coffee cherries are de-pulped and undergo 20 to 30 hours of fermentation. Following this, the parchment is gently washed and placed in a shaded area for drying, a process that takes 15 to 20 days until the ideal moisture content is achieved.
