Situated in the mountainous province of San Ignacio, Cajamarca, Finca Cedro Quemado is where coffee producer Roger Quispe grows Caturra, Typica, and a small volume of Catimor on the 14 acres he acquired two decades ago.
This release shines a spotlight on one of our favourite varieties, Caturra, in all its glory. With exceptional clarity, this coffee embodies what Seven Seeds is all about. We’re confident that you won’t come across many brews like the Roger Quispe in your average cafe. Roasted light for filter brewing, we’ve been enjoying its sweet sugary notes, crisp citric acidity, and impeccably clean finish.
It's been six years since we set off on our journey in Peru, with our first visit in 2018. We recognised the potential of this emerging specialty origin early on. Thanks to the dedication of our sourcing team and the advancements in coffee production, Peru has blossomed into one of our strongest origins.
