 La Esperanza is the name of the farm, which means hope, and was chosen as a reference to the hope of obtaining special coffees and with the aim of becoming the best producer in the region. Fidel Huancas is a proud farmer and tries to improve with each harvest to motivate other farmers around him. He is a third generation farmer and the 1.5ha land on which La Esperanza sits is an inheritance from his father.

When the family started growing coffee on the farm, they had old coffee trees of the catimor and pache varieties, which were replaced within five years by the new yellow caturra variety. This variety was chosen because it performs well on the terroir that characterizes the north of Peru and provides a very high score for flavors.

The big difference that has helped improve this farm has been putting a strong commitment, passion and attention to detail into every aspect of farm management and staff training, which has produced great results.
