David Guevara Cotrina owns a 4.5-hectare farm that has 2.5 hectares' worth of Bourbon and Caturra variety planted under a cover of shade. Like many of his fellow members of the cooperative Lima Coffees, David holds organic certification and uses sustainable methods and materials in his farming. David is a board member of the fast-growing young cooperative.

The vast majority of coffee in Perú is Washed, and many producers own their own wet-milling equipment, though smallholders may also deliver cherry to a central processing unit or cooperative for processing. The coffees are usually depulped the same day they are harvested, and given a 12–18-hour open-air fermentation before being washed clean of mucilage. (The fermentation time may be longer in cooler areas at higher elevation.) Drying styles vary in Perú, and coffee may be dried on patios, raised beds, in parabolic dryers, or mechanically.
