Yulisa Ester Carhuallocllo is a coffee producer from the Corazón de Chirinos area in the Chirinos district of northern Peru. Together with her husband, Jeremías Chinguel Huancas, she founded La Miel with the aim of improving the quality and value of the coffees produced on their farm through better agronomy and more controlled post-harvest practices. Their approach is built on careful field management and patient, incremental improvements that allow the coffee to improve year after year.

La Miel has focused on planting and developing a mix of varieties, combining traditional selections such as Bourbon and Caturra with smaller plantings of exotic varieties including Geisha. The farm is named after the bees they keep, which produce honey and support pollination across the coffee as well as other trees growing on the property, including vituca, guava, and orange. This diversified approach reflects Yulisa’s longer-term view of farming as a system that supports both quality and resilience.

Processing is centered on a washed profile, with fermentation used to remove mucilage after depulping, followed by soaking and washing with clean water. The coffee is then dried slowly on raised beds over roughly one to two weeks, with close attention to evenness and stability. This deliberate drying approach is intended to protect cup quality and improve the coffee’s longevity.

Once the coffee is ready, it is delivered to Falcon’s warehouse in Jaén for quality assessment. Pricing is agreed based on the lot’s evaluated quality and perceived cup score, with Falcon aiming to pay a meaningful premium above local market levels so that improvements in quality translate into improved income for Yulisa and her family.

With the premiums earned through quality, Yulisa’s plan is to continue growing La Miel by expanding production volume over time and developing a roasted coffee brand to sell locally, strengthening both the sustainability of the farm business and the visibility of specialty coffee in her home market
