El Vergel EstatThe Incahuasi cooperative was founded in 2005 and has become a key coffee-producing community in southern Peru. With over 500 producers organized into local groups, collective work is essential. In a remote region with limited infrastructure, communal processing stations enable consistent quality and support smallholder farmers. This coffee is processed as a natural, with strong focus on controlled fermentation and drying. The use of GrainPro bags and slow drying at high altitude results in deep sweetness, fruit complexity, and clean structure. Balance between body and acidity reflects both experience and continuous improvement. We selected this coffee because it represents the essence of Handpickers philosophy: identity, story, and substance. We aimed for an espresso that delivers warmth, sweetness, and depth, bringing not only flavor but also the culture and heritage of the Andes into the cup.e, located on the slopes of Nevado del Ruiz, is one of Colombia’s most forward-thinking farms. Brothers Shady and Elias Bayter transformed what was once an avocado farm into a coffee innovation hub, dedicated to expressing the purity and character of Tolima’s unique terroir. This Caturra lot undergoes a natural anaerobic process: cherries are sealed in stainless-steel tanks and fermented without oxygen, intensifying fruit character and body. Drying takes place on African raised beds (marquesinas), then finished in mechanical dryers to ensure perfect moisture stabilization and remarkable cup consistency. We selected El Vergel Tolima because it embodies everything we value: intensity, clarity, and a cup that speaks for itself. We wanted an espresso that stands out — with a chocolatey foundation, tropical layers, and a lime-like acidity that brings the palate to life. A true expression of modern Colombian coffee.
