The farm was their late mother’s project, and the two have since taken over operations. Over the last few years, they’ve refined their processing methods and expanded their operations to become a beacon of specialty coffee and sustainability. Finca Tasta is a 56-acre estate that has 19 acres cultivated with coffee and 22 acres of natural preserved forest. Edith is an active member of the International Women’s Coffee Alliance (IWCA) in Peru.  Through her activism in the IWCA, the International Trade Center awarded Edith with the opportunity to visit Seattle during the Specialty Coffee Expo.  The trip inspired a desire to begin diversifying the post-harvest processing at Finca Tasta.  This coffee is the result of the first few years of diversification.
