Look at this contraption for drying naturals!

Trust in the team at Casharpitas for always innovating whether in the fermentation and drying stages.

The region of San Martin is speeding ahead with its harvest and by next month it’s looking like they’ll be all done, early for Peru this year.

Massive thanks to Atrium and Black Pine for the recent cuppings.

The coffee community in Manchester is booming and Atrium is playing their role shaping it, fantastic event space.

Our first cupping too where Ebert’s coffee has been on the shelves and brew bar with Black Pine in Glasgow. It was also their first public cupping too so what a way start!

And how could we be in Glasgow and not go Amulet.

Absolutely flying with the amount of coffees we tried and great hospitality by Matt. One of their customers actually tried Ebert’s coffee at Black Pine previously and that was quite a moment for them to meet.

Edinburgh today and Liverpool tomorrow as the fiesta continues with Bean Coffee at their L1 shop.

The first round of the Finca Artemira UK roadshow is complete!

An absolute pleasure introducing Ebert to London and the coffee community.

The first time Ebert has ever left Peru and what an incredible moment it’s been.

The UK roadshow continues today in Manchester at the impressive Atrium.

Harvest in parts of Peru looks to be moving a little earlier this year.

At the moment, we’re still expecting most coffees to be ready around October / November as normal, but some first cherry microlots from higher elevations, alongside full harvest microlots and larger volume blender lots from lower elevations, are looking likely for July / August.

If blenders are of interest now would be a good time to think about a price and quantity. As the c-market is dropping and we think it’ll drop a little further, starting this conversation early can be useful for every part of the supply chain.

Going into our fifth harvest, one thing we’ve come to appreciate is the strength of the network around us. Over the years we’ve worked with more than 55 cooperatives, associations, farms, and producer groups across Peru, giving us the ability to have direct conversations throughout the supply chain and better relay the considerations, challenges, and priorities of roasters back to origin.

Alongside this, financing is one aspect we’re able to offer now, we export and import ourselves and all are available to use as services for your operation.

Let us know what you’re looking for and we can see what’s available.

Have to admire the ingenuity behind advanced coffee processing when it’s done with basic equipment.

The gold standard for consistency and control is still the stainless steel tank setup, but to our knowledge only a handful of farms in Peru currently operate at that level.

For most producers, timbos (large plastic fermentation buckets) are the standard. Fitted with valves, they allow for sealed fermentations at a scale that works for harvest volumes and labour realities.

In this example, smaller plastic buckets are connected to bottles through simple tubing rather than fitted valves. A low cost adaptation, but one that serves the same principle: allowing gases to escape while limiting oxygen exposure during fermentation.

It’s a good example of how many producers start small.

Before investing heavily into tanks, valves, infrastructure, or dedicated fermentation rooms, they first test whether a processing idea actually improves cup quality enough to justify the expense.

This approach of engineering quality gains without immediately increasing financial risk, is something we see constantly across Peru.

And in many ways, it reflects what specialty coffee innovation often looks like at farm level: not massive investment from day one, but curiosity, experimentation, and gradual proof of concept built with whatever is available.

One of the best / most difficult part of this guide is choosing what image to lead with. We’re pretty happy with how it’s looking and even better are the stories inside.

2 weeks to go!

London Coffee Festival is approaching fast.

After such a strong Friday last year, we’re switching things up and hosting Cup The World across Thursday and Friday.

This year, there are two rooms:

One for scheduled cuppings, and one open space with all of us.

More on the schedule soon.
