TASTING NOTES: poached pear, spiced fudge, almond joy ROAST TYPE: Light Farm Level Rosarios Bajos Rosarios Bajos is a coffee- and sugarcane-producing community near the Peru–Ecuador border. It lies within the Chicuate–Chinguelas Private Conservation Area, which protects the humid forests and páramos (highland plateaus) of the Andean slopes in Piura, as well as several endangered species. Rosarios Bajos is a relatively new community for Red Fox—we purchased our first coffees here from six producers in 2023. The harvest in Rosarios Bajos typically begins in August and peaks in October. Producers process their coffee on or near their farms, depulping, fermenting, and washing before drying the parchment—most often on the second floors of their homes. A few producers use parabolic dryers. While most do not apply fertilizers, some produce their own compost, and a small number use purchased island guano. Once prepared, parchment is transported from the farms to the town of Rosarios Bajos, usually by mule or horse unless the farms are nearby. Although the community is located in the Piura department, its closest commercial hubs are Namballe and San Ignacio in neighboring Cajamarca. Historically, producers sold their coffee to traders from these towns. Due to limited transportation infrastructure, Red Fox partners with a local supply chain operator who organizes truck collection two to three times per month, moving coffee from Rosarios Bajos to a warehouse in Namballe. In some cases, producers coordinate their own transport to the warehouse. Rosarios Bajos benefits from high elevation, rich soils, and an ideal microclimate for coffee production. We’ve been very impressed with the quality so far and are excited to continue growing our relationships within this community.
