El Rejo farm is situated in San José del Alto (Cajamarca, Jaén) at an altitude of 1750 - 1800 masl. It is managed by José Rivera and his wife Mariagracia Echeandía. Together they are founders of Origin Coffee Lab, which is known for sourcing and exporting the best quality specialty coffees in Peru. We first bought coffee from Origin Coffee Lab in 2020 and have since met José and Mariagracia at various coffee events as well as visited them in Peru in the fall of 2024.
El Rejo is where they grow their own coffee and experiment with new varieties. Spanning 1 hectare, the farm primarily cultivates bourbon, complemented by banana trees. However, they have also planted SL-9 variety coffee trees which produced a very small yield with incredible results! We are excited to showcase this special, limited edition coffee from our friends José and Mariagracia!
