About the Beans : Peru - Chilchos Valley - Direct Trade

This was Missing Bean's original Direct-Trade relationship. This magical valley is hidden in the cloud-forest, a 12 hour trek from the nearest road.

Since Ori visited the farm 13 years ago, Guillermo Cotrina and his family have sent us their crop year after year. We love maintaining this relationship and providing them with the security that their hard work is worth it.

Over the years Missing Bean have provided various bonuses to the farm through fundraising events, charity raffles, and annual latte art competitions - a flexibility that is only attainable through a respectable, mutually beneficial, Direct-Trade relationship.

It's a coffee that may only travel half, but means the whole World to us!
