This region is well known for the longevity of its inhabitants and the exceptional quality of its coffee. The name Vilcabamba comes from the Incan Quechua dialect and is formed from two words: “Huilco” (sacred/God) and “Bamba” (valley), meaning “Valley of God” or “Sacred Valley.”
The quality of the soil and the devoted work of experienced farmers guarantee an excellent coffee harvest with a fine balance of acidity, aroma, flavor and body. This washed Typica Mejorado variety is a great example. Interestingly, this variety is not genetically related to Typica, but was named this way because of its sensory similarity.
