Inga community are the descendants of the ancient and widely known pre-hispanic Incas, they used to live at the top mountains of Los Andes in Peru, descendants of nomad warriors for the Inca empire army. During the period of conquest, they remained isolated in the high mountains which became their natural refuge. It’s only during the second half of the 19th century when records of this community appeared again when they entered the rubber and the quina business.
Since recently, with ideal growing environments, they are cultivating coffee. The caturra variety has been seeded in these lands, and is defined as having a good cup. This is because the coffee from Inga Aponte is grown, on average, at 2150 meters above sea level.
Producers process coffee on their own properties, drying Honey coffee in stacked raised bed solar dryers on their farms. This process reduces water used for washing coffee and complements the natural complexity of coffees from this special region.
