Leyvi Perez

Some coffees feel like they’ve been a long time coming. We first met Leyvi Pérez on our very first trip to Cusco in 2021, when she was just beginning her journey into specialty coffee. In the years since, we’ve visited her farm in Santa Teresa, run production workshops together, and supported her through an internship with our export partner, Collective Bean—where she travelled across Peru learning from other producers in our network. This washed Pache is the result of that ongoing work: in the cup we taste notes of blackberry, dried apricot, and candied orange.
