Producer Profile
Dominga Carrasco tends her farm, Finca El Amanecer at 1,830 to 1,860 masl with confidence and open curiosity. Dominga is actually David Flores’ (whose Sidra we roasted earlier this year) aunt, and she represents an older generation of growers still committed to learning from the next. She has specifically been instrumental in championing Caturro Amarillo—a fragile but rewarding variety that she preserves through careful, hands-on management, and that has influenced many of her neighbors to keep it in their fields as well. Dominga is a member of El Morito, and her role there reflects its ethos: resilience, transparency, and inter-generational knowledge sharing. She processes her coffee on-farm and contributes to a collective effort grounded in individual autonomy.

For best results we recommend resting your filter coffee for two to three weeks post-roast before brewing.
Cajamarca is the most famous of Peruvian growing regions. It sits on the border with Ecuador. The Eastern and Western Andes meet in the region, helping create distinct microclimates that are ideal for growing high-quality coffee.
A natural mutation of Bourbon, originally discovered in Brazil in the early 20th century; Caturra derives its name from the Guarani word for “small,” a reference to its diminutive stature that results from a single-gene mutation causing dwarfism. It was this small size- allowing for more trees to be planted closer together- that led to mass selections of Caturra being made by the Instituto Agronomico (IAC) of Sao Paulo State in Campinas in the 1930’s. Caturra then made its way to Guatemala during the 1940’s and then was widely adopted in the 1970s by the rest of Central America, where it is now one of the most economically important varieties. At high altitudes Caturra has strong quality and yield potential but unfortunately, is quite susceptible to disease.
