The Chavez Estate – Inkawasi, Peru
The Chavez Estate is a third-generation family farm led by Ricardo and Virginia Chavez alongside their three children, Raquel / Jhenrri / Richard. For more than ten years, the family has been cultivating Gesha Inka (SL9). In 2025, their work was recognized with a fourth-place finish in the Cup of Excellence, a testament to their long-standing dedication to quality.
There are two key aspects that make the Chavez Estate especially noteworthy:
First, the family’s SL9 seed stock can be traced directly to established SL9 plants in Inkawasi. The plant structure, seed characteristics, and cup profile all align with expectations for this variety.
Second, the estate operates under a clearly defined family structure. Ricardo and Virginia oversee all farm operations of the finca. Rebecca and Richard manage harvesting and post-harvest processing at the beneficio area. Jhenrri Chavez is responsible for quality control and agricultural innovation, applying practices gained through his current work with the Inkawasi cooperative. Together, the family manages several interconnected plots under the umbrella of the Chavez Estate.
In 2025, the family entered the Cup of Excellence under Jhenrri Chavez’s name, representing the entire estate.
Post - harvest processing
After depulping, this lot was fermented in mucilage for 10 days inside a ceramic pit at the washing station, covered with a tarp. It was then briefly washed and laid out to dry.
