The Story

Alfonso and Karim Tejada own and manage Finca Timbuyacu, located in the Amazonas region of northern Peru. In 2010, after years of operating their exporting company, Monteverde, which works with over 250 producers, they decided to try their hand at organic coffee farming. They chose a lush plot of land, dedicating 20 hectares to coffee production and designating the remaining 50 hectares as a nature preserve.

Biodiversity flourishes at Finca Timbuyacu. The farm’s name is derived from a compound Quechua word: timbu translates to source and yaku translates to water. An abundance of trees help provide shade and promote soil health, fostering exceptional growing conditions at 1,700 meters above sea level. It’s been said Alfonso and Karim have one of the most beautiful farms in the world and they won’t disagree with you.
