The Pacaybamba Growers: A Legacy of Collaboration
Nestled on the sun-drenched southern slopes of the Pacaybamba Valley, three neighboring farms—Cancio Villarino, Jhon Saenz, and Rene Ccasa—cultivate exceptional coffee between 2,290–2,320 meters. Just a short walk apart, these members of the Pacaybamba sector (Incahuasi Cooperative) embody the Inca principle of Ayni, working each other’s lands in a tradition of shared labor.
The Coffee
Each farmer produces 88+ point coffees with remarkable consistency, showcasing:
-
Stone fruit sweetness
-
Vibrant citrus acidity
-
Delicate floral notes
By combining their harvests into larger lots, they achieve economies of scale while preserving traceability — a collaboration enriched by two generations of expertise and the agroforestry leadership of Jhon Saenz, the cooperative’s appointed plant health manager.
The Varietal Revival
Their Geisha Inka (Ethiopian heirloom varieties long grown in the district) was once overlooked for low yields. Now, through skilled cultivation at ever-higher altitudes, these trees deliver exceptional quality and community-wide benefits.
Inca Traditions in Modern Practice
The Incahuasi Cooperative’s members, united by Inca heritage, sustain ancient systems:
-
Minka: Collective infrastructure projects
-
Ayni: Daily farmer-to-farmer collaboration
This cultural framework refines practices and elevates quality, ensuring both excellence in the cup and equity for growers.
