Miguel Estela
El Morito is nestled in the remote mountains of Cajamarca in Northern Peru, a region known for its high elevations, fertile soil, and ideal climate for growing exceptional coffee. Surrounded by lush green hills and cool mountain air, the farm benefits from slow cherry maturation, allowing the coffees to develop greater sweetness, complexity, and clarity. The combination of warm sunny days and cool nights creates a balanced environment that helps produce coffees with vibrant acidity, floral aromatics, and layered fruit notes. Like many farms in Cajamarca, El Morito is small and carefully maintained, reflecting the region’s deep connection to traditional coffee farming and quality-focused production.
