A Story in Every Cup
In the highlands of Chirinos, Peru, Eli Espinoza cultivates exceptional coffee on his 4-hectare farm in Las Pirias. Growing Typica, Caturra, Bourbon, and Gesha at 1,800–2,000m, Eli benefits from ideal conditions for producing complex, high-quality beans. Each lot is hand-processed with care, reflecting his dedication as an independent producer.
Starting as a teenage picker, Eli built his own farm and processing setup from the ground up. His coffee represents the resilience of smallholder farmers committed to quality despite limited resources. Choosing his coffee supports a more ethical, equitable future for Peruvian specialty coffee.
Suzuki Coffee honours Eli’s work with an Omni Roast – a balanced profile that highlights clarity and sweetness in manual brews, and depth and structure in espresso. One roast, many possibilities.
