Dwight Aguilar’s earliest memories trace back to Huadquiña, a small town in the district of Santa Teresa, in the Andean-amazonian province of La Convención (Cusco). It’s located at more than 1,500 m a.s.l. Santa Teresa is recognized for its rich agricultural activity and natural beauty, as well as being the amazonian door to the majestic citadel of Machupicchu.
Thanks to its temperate climate and fertile, mineral-rich soils containing potassium and phosphorus, the area offers exceptional conditions for coffee production. Local farmers, including the Aguilar family, have found in this (coffee) bean an opportunity for development and a source of pride.
Dwight grew up among coffee farms and mountains, on the land that belonged to his father, Timoteo Aguilar, who obtained it during the Agrarian Reform of 1969. That period marked a deep transformation in Peru’s rural history, when the slogan “Land for those who work it” became a reality. Since then, that phrase has guided the daily efforts of Dwight and his family, who continue honoring his father’s legacy with hard work, dedication, and love for coffee.
