La Mandarina farm is located in the district of Carmen de la Frontera, within the province of Huancabamba in the Piura region, on the border between Namballe in Cajamarca and Ecuador.
This area is known as Selva Alta (high jungle). Here, the climate becomes more tropical, the vegetation thickens, and agricultural products diversify.
Ursulo was born in the coffee producing town of Rosario Altos. He’s been cultivating coffee since he was 25 years old and has 2 sons. His farm encompasses 2 hectares, all dedicated to coffee and subsistence crops like bananas and yucca for his family’s daily usage.
He intersperses Caturra, Pache and Catimor varieties among shade trees including Albizia and Pacay. After processing, he loads parchment onto his truck. Ursulo is a passionate coffee producer and wishes to obtain national and international recognition in the future.
The name of his farm "La Mandarina" comes from a very good anecdote, when he first bought the land there was only grass and trees, so the first fruit he planted was a little tree of tangerines, he didn't think the little tree was going to survive but more than 10 years later the tree is still there giving many juicy tangerines.

The resulting cups from this level of cultivation and dedication is a satisfying and deep flavor profile with complex cocoa, delicate wafer cookie-like sweetness, and round apple acidity.
