In the cup, it offers cherry, panela, and apple: a clean, sweet, and refreshingly classic profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCandelaria Santos has grown up with coffee. She now tends a small garden of Caturra herself in San Ignacio, Cajamarca — one of northern Peru's most reputable coffee-producing regions — though she has worked on coffee farms from a young age. Candelaria is deeply committed to both the cultivation of her crop and the pursuit of quality at every stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSEY do not often source from northern Peru, despite the region's strong standing, and they rarely work with traditional varieties.
