Currently, we have a beautiful coffee LAS MUJERES DE AMOJU from Peru.
Las Mujeres de Amojú
We asked Amojú to come up with a coffee lot made purely from women’s coffee that could highlight their work and dedication to grow not just great coffees but also in an organic manner.
The cooperative currently has 179 women associated with their operation, distributed in 2 different provinces in the Cajamarca department, these provinces are Huabal and Cutervo. Out of these 179 women, Amoju has put together 20 of them to create the lot we are proud to showcase.
Many of these women are single mothers that run their entire farms and families without much help. The cooperative provides technical assistance with Guano and compost creation as these are the main sources of fertilization in their farms. Other than contributing with organic fertilizers, Amoju helps with post-harvest techniques and risk management for their crops, such as the fermentation practices and drying methods to carry out.
The size of their farms vary between 0.5 and 3 hectares at altitudes that range between 1800 and 2000 masl.
This lot is made of the following varieties: Caturra, Catuaí, Pache and Bourbon and the women deliver their bags of parchment to the cooperative warehouse in the city of Jaén.

Description
“Amoju” is an Awajun word that means “source of fresh water,” and it is also the name of a cooperative founded in 2016 that brings together small coffee producers from northern Peru.
The coop was formed as member growers of the organization began to notice that the productivity of their farms was decreasing due to the presence of weeds competing with coffee plants. This reduces the availability of nutrients for the coffee plants and increases the risk of pests.
Unfortunately, in Peru and other parts of the world, glyphosate is used as a herbicide to combat this competition between weeds and coffee plants. However, at the same time, this chemical also poses a threat to the health of the producers, those who consume the coffee, and the soil in which it grows. Additionally, the presence of glyphosate in a batch of coffee also means losing the status of an organic product and, with it, the opportunity to sell it as such.
Faced with all these challenges, the Amoju cooperative and its members proposed the following actions, which they included in their sustainability plan.
1. Prepare an integrated management plan for competing plants.
2. Propose to coffee growers the installation of agroforestry systems to contribute in conserving forest and with it, sources of water
3. Propose and implement crop diversification to contribute to the food security of coffee farmer
The Amoju cooperative lives up to its name because they have demonstrated their commitment not only to producing good coffee but also to conserving forests, which in turn ensures the preservation of water sources or “amojus” in Awajun.
We source this coffee through Cultivar, a small wholesaler based in Madrid and Peru who specialise in coffees only from Peru with a presence in Cajamarca, in Peru. The cooperative has solid experience in working with organic production, fostering long term relationships between both growers and aligns with our values and efforts to offer coffees with meaningful stories behind them.
