Jose Guevara, Peru

This coffee is grown by third-generation farmer Jose Guevara, in Queromarca, Cajamarca, Peru. Warm days, cool nights and plenty of rainfall paired with careful selection and processing results in high-quality coffee.

Lot 20 Coffee's mission is centred on improving coffee processing techniques while staying grounded in local communities. By choosing to operate smaller processing facilities in Kericho rather than large, high-tech facilities in Nairobi, Lot 20 aims to keep value within local communities. 

Remagoa’s isolated location used to mean that selling coffee involved a daily 2km hike down the mountain to sell at the side of the nearest road. With investment from Karst, processing of the coffee now takes place at source in the farmers homes, and only needs to be collected once, at the end of the harvest.

Grown in the mountainous regions of Papua New Guinea, the coffees remain in the highlands once they are dried, where the climate is far less humid. Only once the shipping date approaches are they transported down from altitude to the port city of Lae and onwards heading for our Roast House in Nottingham.

Family-run farm Chorro Alto has been revolutionised by Ángela. With her experience, dedication, and vision, she has transformed the family legacy into a model of innovation within coffee farming.
