Finca Churupampa: Specialty Coffee with a Social Mission in Cajamarca, Peru
Nestled in the lush mountains of Chirinos in the Cajamarca region of northern Peru, Finca Churupampa has become one of the country's most respected specialty coffee producers. Established in 2011 by the Tocto Bermeo family, the farm has grown from a single family operation into a collaborative network of coffee-producing families dedicated to quality, sustainability, and community development.
Finca Churupampa is renowned for producing high-quality washed Arabica coffees, including varieties such as Caturra, Typica, Bourbon, Pache, and Geisha. The region's high elevations, fertile soils, and unique microclimates create ideal growing conditions, resulting in coffees celebrated for their vibrant acidity, sweetness, and complex fruit and floral notes.
What sets Finca Churupampa apart is its commitment to sustainability and social impact. The farm works closely with dozens of local producer families, providing technical training, quality control, organic farming support, and fair market access. Beyond coffee production, the project promotes food security, environmental conservation, and farm diversification, helping improve livelihoods throughout the region.
Today, Finca Churupampa exports specialty coffee to roasters around the world and has become a model for ethical coffee production in Peru. By combining exceptional coffee with a strong commitment to people and the environment, it showcases the best of Cajamarca's rich coffee-growing heritage.
