La Lucuma sits at 1,750 metres in La Coipa, San Ignacio, in Peru's Cajamarca region. The whole Chinguel family works the farm: Don Marcelino handles admin and sales, his wife Lizana leads post-harvest processing, and their sons Franklin and Jhonner oversee picking and quality control. The variety here is their own discovery, a Bourbon mutation that appeared among their trees, which they named Marshel. In 2019 it won Peru's Cup of Excellence. With this natural lot, cherries are hand-sorted, floated and rested for sixteen hours, then dried slowly in a solar drier for over a month. In the cup: tart blackberry, white sugar sweetness and a delicate rose water finish.
