About the Region

Finca Otocani is located in the Challabamba area of Cusco, Peru – one of the best terroirs in the country. Peru is the largest exporter of organic Arabica coffee in the world, and thanks to its high altitudes and fertile soils, it produces exceptional microlots of outstanding quality. Coffee cultivation here has a rich history. After European landowners left, agricultural land was redistributed to local farmers, creating a network of small-scale producers. Most of them process their coffee directly on the farm using traditional methods: the coffee is fully washed, fermented, and dried on raised beds or in parabolic drying structures. This results in clean, complex, and highly consistent cups.

About the farm

Finca Otocani is owned by the Lizaraso family, who have been cultivating coffee in this area for over 50 years. Despite the gradual division of land over time, the family has remained united and continues to work together on the shared plantation. The younger generation has honored tradition while introducing innovations – they have renewed old coffee trees and planted new varieties such as Geisha and Maragogype, elevating the farm’s quality even further. During harvest, the entire family – around 35–40 members – moves from plot to plot, handpicking only perfectly ripe cherries. The cherries are then processed on the farm, fermented for approximately 16 hours, and dried on wooden raised beds for about 18 days. The Valle Inca cooperative plays a key role in the region. Founded in 2015 by local coffee enthusiast Jose Prudencio, its goal is to improve conditions for farmers following the collapse of the large COCLA cooperative. Thanks to Valle Inca, more than 400 producers now receive fair prices, can invest in their farms, and significantly improve coffee quality.
