Region: Cajamarca Producer: Cooperativa Agraria Aprocassi Farms: La Estrella Variety: Caturra, typica, bourbon amarillo Process: Washed Altitude: 1800 MASL Import: Algrano ROASTED ALMONDS, CACAO, PEACH. Aprocassi is based in San Ignacio, Cajamarca (1,700 MASL), where cloudy summers and long winters create ideal drying conditions for coffee. Grown in slightly acidic soils (pH ~5.5), varieties like Typica, Bourbon, Mundo Novo, Catuai, and Caturra, especially Caturra Amarillo, reach their full potential. The project began in response to a planned 8,000-hectare mining operation by Sulliden. After environmental protests led by local families and the church, Reverend Humberto Tapia Días founded Aprocassi in 2000 as a sustainable, organic alternative. It became a cooperative in 2010. La Estrella is named after a nearby star-shaped lagoon.
