Rene Ccasa is part of a new generation of specialty coffee producers in the remote community of Pacaybamba, Incahuasi. In addition to his role as a local pastor, he leads reforestation projects by converting former cornfields into sustainable, shaded coffee plantations. In 2023, his dedication was recognized by winning first place in the Incahuasi Cup with his extraordinary Geisha lot. Rene grows Caturra, Typica, Bourbon and Geisha Inka-an ancestral Ethiopian variety present in the area for decades. Each variety is harvested separately to form unique micro-lots. With meticulous processing and a deep respect for the Inca traditions of shared labor, Rene continues to elevate the quality of its coffees while strengthening its community.
