More about this coffee and where it comes from….
In the south of Ecuador, on an idyllic plateau surrounded by the mighty Andes Mountains, lies the small village of Vilcabamba. From Quechua, the language of the Inca, the name Vilcabamba translates as “Holy Valley”.
Located at around 1500 metres above sea level, the incredibly clean air is supposedly cleaned by a mystical plant named “Hilo”. This plant provides a possible explanation for the extraordinary health and strength of the people who live here, but a definitive explanation however has never been found.
Visitors from all over the world come to enjoy this tranquil and serene location, to rest and forget the stresses of daily life. Spending time in this place allows them to soak up the harmony and joy of the people of Vilcabamba.
The cultivation of coffee has enjoyed a long tradition for the people of Vilcabamba. On the mountain slopes of this beautiful place, the small farmers of Vilcabamba grow the very best Arabica coffees. For them this drink is a small luxury.
During the harvest, between June and October, the families pick the ripe, red cherries and clean the beans in the water of the nearby mountain rivers. Then the coffee is slowly sun dried and hand sorted. Only small quantities of this coffee are produced each year, as it is cultivated primarily through manual labour and through family businesses producing this wonderful coffee.
