Learn More About This Coffee

Rutas del Inca stands out in Peru’s coffee landscape as a young, quality-focused cooperative making the most of a truly unique environment. Founded in 2013 with just 33 members, the co-op is based in the Querocoto District of the Chota Province in Cajamarca—an area defined by its cool, consistent climate and high elevations, fully encircled by mountain ranges. These conditions allow for slow, even drying and result in coffees with exceptional clarity and complexity. Since exporting its first crop in 2014, Rutas del Inca has built a reputation for excellence and sustainability as an organic-certified producer. Today, the cooperative includes 258 members—30 women and 228 men—across 27 communities in the Querocoto, Huambos, and Querocotillo districts.

As one of the few coffee cooperatives in Peru’s Chota province, Rutas del Inca pushes the boundaries of where coffee can be grown. Reaching high into the Peruvian mountains—up to 2,400 m—the farmers at Rutas del Inca take advantage of their region’s consistently cool temperatures for an even and controlled drying. Their unique ecosystem, paired with careful farming and processing, creates a coffee that we are excited to buy year after year.
