Story
High in the mountains around Jaén, Peru, stands a peak known as Cerro Conjuro, where a rich tapestry of faith, tradition, and natural beauty intertwines. Decades ago, missionaries brought two crosses to protect the communities of Colasay and Chontali from evil and plagues. One cross was placed at the summit of Cerro Conjuro, and the other marked the entrance to Chontali. Every May, residents embark on a pilgrimage up Cerro Conjuro, celebrating their faith and commemorating the symbolic power of these crosses, which for them represent the sun and the moon. The journey between Colasay and Chontali is filled with dancing, feasting, and community connection.

About the Coffee
The coffee is processed using a washed method, with traditional harvesting supported by family members and neighbours. Only ripe cherries are selected. After harvesting, the cherries undergo floating or skimming to remove impurities such as sticks, dry cherries and dust. The coffee is dry-pulped. Some producers practice anaerobic fermentation in bags, while others ferment in open tanks.

El Conjuro Coffee reflects the devotion and dedication of the local coffee producers, who have passed down their craft through generations. The farmers, many of whom belong to the third generation of coffee cultivators, grow high-quality varieties like Caturra and Bourbon, supported by the region's ideal microclimates and fertile soil. Over the last decade, these coffee growers have moved away from conventional farming methods, adopting sustainable practices that care for biodiversity and working collaboratively to improve quality.
