A note from our supplier, Nordic Approach:
Founded in 1985, the farm is named after Mrs. Feliciana Díaz, grandmother of producer Nixer Ordoñez, who inherited 16 hectares from her late husband. The farm is located in the Ayuyos sector, about 20 minutes from the New York annex (in Lonya Grande, Amazonas), at an altitude of 1,750 to 1,800 meters above sea level. Today, the farm spans 8 hectares, including 3 hectares of preserved forest, 2 hectares in coffee production, and 3 hectares set aside for planting more coffee. Nixer’s wife is a specialty coffee cupper, focusing on quality control and process improvement for both washed and natural coffees.
Nixer was born in the hamlet of New York, in Lonya Grande, Amazonas. He grew up with his grandparents, who were farmers. After completing his secondary education, he moved to Lambayeque in 2009 to pursue higher studies, where he graduated as a Certified Public Accountant. In 2014, after finishing university, he co-founded Norcafé Perú with 100 families, creating job opportunities in the coffee sector. He has since co-founded Gocta Coffee, the company through which we purchased this coffee.
Doña Fica farm is planted with Marshell, Caturra, and Geisha varieties. These trees grow in sandy loam soil, providing ideal conditions for coffee cultivation. The harvest season runs from July to December. Nixer performs a selective harvest, picking only ripe cherries. The process is followed by 30 hours of cherry fermentation. Then, coffee is pulped and washed with clean water, and dried slowly for approximately 28 days.
Founded in 2021 in Lonya Grande, Amazonas, Gocta Coffee was created to empower small producers and connect them with international markets. The company was established by Sonia Díaz, Nixer Ordoñez, and Roiber Becerra, coffee farmers, certified cuppers, and professionals with over a decade of experience in specialty coffee. Working closely with farmers across Amazonas and Cajamarca, Gocta Coffee provides training and technical support to improve coffee quality through sustainable practices. Their foundation rests on transparency, traceability, and fair collaboration — values that ensure every coffee tells the story of the people and places behind it.
Our coffee comes in craft paper bags which contain a plastic liner on the inside to guarantee freshness of our coffee. Please dispose properly at your local plastic trash container. The Village Coffee is roasted fresh every week, and best consumed within four weeks after roast date. Store your coffee in a dry, dark and cool place, avoid the fridge.
