Quiquira

Oh baby when you taste like that…

My lips don't lie and I'm starting to taste it's right

All the attraction, the tension

Don't you see, baby? This coffee’s perfection

Ok Dylan made a great point that, as fun as the above text is, it’s insufficient to communicate what is so interesting and important about this coffee. We’ve been buying this lot for years through Cultivar, coming from just 10 indigenous smallholders in the community of Quiquira in Sandia, Puno, comprising the bulk of the income for the community. Like most other population centers in Sandia, Quiquira maintains many Incan practices including the speaking of Quechua. Situated amongst the Andes, Quiquira boasts flat and fertile terrain, perfect in altitude and temperance for growing specialty coffee.
