Esther Sampertegui is a devoted coffee producer rooted in the community of Santa María, nestled in the Jaén district of Cajamarca, Peru. Her farm, El Mirador, rests at an elevation of 1,600 meters above sea level, where brisk mountain winds and a cool, steady climate create the perfect setting for nurturing exceptional coffee.

In 2025, Esther began a new chapter in her journey, refining her harvesting and post-harvest practices with a determination to unlock the full potential of her land.

This lot was processed using a washed technique. Harvested cherry is floated and hand-sorted to remove defects. Sorted cherry is pulped and fermented for 12 hours. Parchment is dried on drying beds for around 15 days.
