Efrain Carhuallocllo Salvador owns 4 hectares of land in the el Corazon village in Chirinos distrcit.

Efrain is one of the most innovative producers in all of Peru and his farm and wet mill are run with extreme care and precision.

Efrain competed in the very first Cup of Excellence competition in Peru and placed 2nd, and many consider his to the be the best coffee of that competition, even though it didn't win. Prior to and since competing in the CoE Efrain has won a number of local and national competitions and is most likely the most decorated producer in Peru.

Efrain grows caturra (yellow and red) and geisha varieties and whilst he does not apply and herbicides or pestacides, he does apply chemical fertilisers to improve his productivity. Once picked Efrain's coffee is fermented for 24 hours before being washed and dried, great care is taken over the drying, making sure the coffee is dried slowly and evenly for better longevity. In Efrain's drying area it usually take around 25 days to dry.
