We have established Cultivar in Peru to collaborate with small scale coffee growers. We do this because we believe in the potential of these families to produce excellent qualities. And mostly because we are convinced that quality opens opportunities to equal partnerships in coffee.
Our team of experienced coffee professionals run our warehouses in the coffeeregions. We cultivate relationships with farmers across provinces, and support eachother in the continuous building of knowledge and experience in quality productionand its commercialization. We love to inspire innovation where it makes sense andcross-pollinate the learnings of producers and roasters.
Lisanne and Theadros, founders of Cultivar, met each other while working in coffeein 2012. “In between cuppings, we would have endless conversations aboutsociology, agricultural development, and our own experiences in working withfarmers in Latin America. We both believed that specialty coffee could be a goodopportunity for smallholders, yet it was mostly the coffee elite that had the means toseize it. Some years, and many animated evening discussions with beers later, wesat to write down our plans and bring our thoughts to reality. Cultivar Coffees.”
We have learnt lessons and evolved over the years ever since our start in 2017. Thecoffee sector is an unstable, always-changing place without simple answers to aproblem. To not get stuck in these complexities, we see it’s important to focus on theessence without drifting away from our values.
We believe relationships are at the core of a fruitful business; and relationships arebuilt on a foundation of trust. Trust, we have learned, is built over the years and thereare no shortcuts. From start to end it’s about commitment! And Cultivar is committedto be that partner to both roasters and growers in Peru throughout the years.
