A female-produced Peruvian coffee that reminds us of tropical fruits and lollies.

Luz Emerita Herrera Villanueva owns El Eucalipto farm in La Higuera village, south of Jaén (Colasay district of Peru).

Coffee is the primary source of her income, alongside growing bananas. Luz is content with how far she has come—proud of her family and the effort they’ve all put into carrying the business out.

Since the farm is operating, they’ve only planted and sold Bourbon varietal but Luz is currently considering expanding their farmlands and to grow Geisha as well.

At El Eucalipto, yields are relatively strong, with an average productivity of 20 quintales of parchment per hectare (~1100kg/ha). Flowering occurs during August and September, and harvest spans from July through August.

FAQs

Do you ship Australia-wide?

Yes! We deliver freshly roasted coffee beans anywhere in Australia, with fast dispatch and eco-friendly packaging.

Do you ship internationally?

We ship beans to select international countries.

Can I buy pre-ground coffee?

Yes. You’ll see our pre-ground options during checkout.

We offer pre-ground options for different methods:
- Ground for domestic espresso (home espresso machine)
- Ground for stovetop (Bialetti)
- Ground for AeroPress / Kalita / Cold Brew / Moccamaster / Plunger / French Press (immersion style)

How is your coffee ethically sourced?

We source our coffee from small producers through responsible importing companies. 95% of our green coffee beans are supplied by Caravela Coffee, Cafe Imports, and Melbourne Coffee Merchants (certified B Corporations) plus Condesa Co Lab and more.

We transparently share all the information about each coffee lot (territory of origin, producer, variety, processing method, importer, quality grade) on each coffee page. This includes blend components for our espresso blends.

We take quality sourcing very seriously, so being fully transparent about our coffee is a way to honour everyone’s efforts along the production and gain the trust of ethical-minded consumers.

Learn more about our coffee and business philosophy.

Do you roast dark or light?

We roast our single origins using omni medium/light profiles. (This means you can use it for pour over and espresso brewing, no need to buy different bean bags with specific roast styles.)

We roast our espresso blends using darker profiles.

What is “specialty coffee”?

The definitions and references to specialty coffee are changing.

Historically, and as most people think of it these days, specialty coffee is Arabica beans that score over 80 in the old Specialty Coffee Association point scale. Today, the SCA refers to specialty coffee as “a coffee or coffee experience that is recognized for its distinctive attributes, resulting in a higher value within the marketplace.”

Can I subscribe?

Absolutely. Our coffee subscription lets you get your favourite beans (for filter and espresso, black or milk drinks) delivered regularly for free and with no lock-in periods.
