Elizabeth Rojas

Highlights

“Elizabeth Rojas farms El Páramo at 1,850 metres near the town of El Chaupe in Cajamarca, right against the Tabacones Namballe nature reserve — a stretch of northern Peru that Red Bank's exporting partner Red Beetle has found repeatedly delivers standout coffee. The Caturra is grown under heavy shade and harvested by Elizabeth with her parents and brother. Cherry rests whole before a 40-hour open-tank dry fermentation, then it is pulped, washed and dried on raised beds for 15 to 20 days. In the cup that reads bright and silky, sweet rather than acidic, with blackberry jam, Ceylon tea and apple.”
