location: Chota, Cajamarca, Peru

Chota is in an area of Cajamarca that is relatively new to coffee farming. It is home to many indigenous Incan people groups who still primarily work in agriculture; most notably in potato growing. More recently, many farmers have begun to work in coffee. The area of Chota encompases some of the highest elevations in the entirety of Peru, due to its’ connection to the Andean mountain range. With elevations that exceed 2300 masl, Chota is in fact ideal for coffee cultivation.

In this area, Osito work with our partners, Red Beetle Coffee Lab and Finca Churupampa, to take delivery of parchment and be the first line of QC. Osito’s Peruvian coffees come almost exclusively from these small producers in Chota and we are proud to offer these producers a way to market that allows them access to the higher premiums specialty coffee commands.

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.
