Passenger Coffee Roasters

Abel Raymundo Arotaype

Abel Raymundo Arotaype's El Pedregal sits near 2500 masl in western Cusco, Peru—among the world's highest-elevation coffee farms. The washed process preserves the clarity and brightness that altitude imparts, allowing the coffee's inherent complexity to shine. This lot earned 11th place at the 2022 Peru Cup of Excellence, a recognition that reflects the quality of beans produced at these extreme elevations. The region has become known for outstanding geshias and comparable coffees, and this washed lot carries the hallmark precision and nuance you'd expect from such rarified growing conditions.
