Chirinos is a long-standing cooperative and leader in Cajamarca known for their agricultural ingenuity and reliability. The group has weathered change and uncertainty throughout the decades which is a testament to both the quality of their coffee and their ability to adapt and innovate. Coffee is hand-picked by co-op members and their families. Each producer group relies on an experienced agronomist for technical support in organic production and quality control. They use strictly organic compost which they make themselves using a unique composting system called "gaicashi."
