José works in the municipality of Callayuc, a short drive from the town of Querocoto. Here, he works on a 4 hectare farm he has dubbed La Lúcuma, located at 2000 meters above sea level. He grows Typica, Yellow Caturra and Bourbon; combined with the high altitude and cool climate, this leads to coffees that are dense, sweet, and aromatic.
