location: peru, junin, stapido

Minca, a Quechua term from the Andes, signifies the close camaraderie among farmers. While hiring help during harvest, they rely on neighbours for the rest of the crop cycle. The men and woman move from farm to farm, assisting with various tasks. This collective care and social bond are encapsulated by the concept of Minca.

The coffee comes from seven farmers in Junín, Peru’s largest coffee-producing region. Through the Volcafe Way program, these farmers receive regular visits from agronomists aiming for sustainable profitability. Training focuses on production standards, water treatment, and agroforestry.

Junín is protected by the Andes and offers ideal conditions for agriculture. The landscape holds and abundance of water supplies and fertile soils.

Grind Information

Please note, our espresso grind is suitable for most home coffee machines. If you have a commercial grade coffee machine, E.g. Linea Mini, then please add an order note in your basket, requesting commercial espresso grind.

We would always recommend that you use a grinder at home in order to achieve the grind suitable for your particular brewing equipment, but we appreciate that this is not always possible, so we do offer our coffee as ground. We offer grind options that we think would achieve the best results from the numerous variations of machines and equipment that are available to consumers, but we cannot guarantee that our ground options will work with every unique set up.
