Founded in 2013, Finca Cahuasqui is owned by Milton Villavicencio. It is located in the eastern part of Imbabura near Cahuasqui, one of the oldest towns in the region dating back to 1513. In the Ecuadorian Andes, the farm sits at an elevation of 2300 masl. Villavicencio is one of few in the region who continues to rely on farming rather than mining. Finca Cahuasqui has 3 hectares dedicated to growing Caturra. Harvest typically runs from June to September. They use a traditional washed process with a 48-hour fermentation period. Villavicencio hopes to one day create an association and collection center for the region to increase specialty coffee production from Cahuasqui.
