Viracocha is a creator deity who, according to Inca tradition, emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca in a world still submerged in darkness, creating the sky, the moon, the stars, and the sun before shaping human beings and teaching them the arts of civilization.
We chose this name for a coffee from Perù because it speaks to the idea of origin, light, and transformation, the same qualities reflected in this coffee, which grows in the Huabal region, an agricultural system located at around 2,000 meters above sea level, where the cool climate slows cherry maturation and promotes greater sugar concentration and aromatic complexity. The lot is composed of Pache and Caturra and follows a process involving 48 hours of cherry resting, pulping, and an additional 48 hours of controlled fermentation. In the cup, notes of mandarin and spices emerge, supported by a round and persistent sweetness.
