It’s no exaggeration to say that the Abel Raymundo Arotaype Huayllas is among the highest elevation coffee producers in the world. Located at nearly 2500 masl, his farm, El Pedregal, is located in the west of Cusco near the border with the neighboring Ayacucho department. This past year we’ve tasted a number of outstanding geshas from this region, so it was no surprise to see this coffee given due acclaim at the 2022 Peru Cup of Excellence, where it was awarded 11th place overall.
