From the roaster

This lot was grown by Irene Herrera Cabrera and Milciades Minga, two members of the farmer organization Gallito de las Rocas. Their farm lies in the crease of a fold in the rugged Peruvian Andes, a long walk up a narrow path from the nearest road, in a community that is a natural habitat for Peru's national bird.
