Sourcing Details Coffee from Las Rutas del Inca has a ring to it that you might not soon forget.

Cooperativa Agraria Rutas Del Inca was established in 2013 and works with 326 members who follow organic farm management practices attuned to their cultural connection with the land. Producers typically cultivate coffee on just a few acres of land intercropped with shade trees, bananas, corn, and beans. Processing Details During the harvest, cherries are carefully harvested and sorted and floated to remove damaged and less dense beans before depulping, fermenting, washing, and drying the coffee using micro-mills located on each farm. Dried parchment is delivered to the cooperative warehouse. Cooperative Activities After processing, the cooperative carries out activities that often go unnoticed but are crucial for delivering consistent community lots to the international market.

Investments for basic infrastructure needs, like road improvements, establishing local warehouses, and preparing coffee for export are all coordinated through Ruta del Inca, which ensures traceability and quality control throughout the post harvest process. Ruta del Inca also provides producers with financing, training, and technical assistance to improve coffee quality.

The cooperative strives to improve the quality of life for coffee producers and their families through internationally marketing coffee to gain improved premiums based on a reputation for quality and certification.
