More about the coffee, producer & region.

This farm is planted only with pacamara and has been under Sigfredo for 10 years. Since he took on the farm they have used no herbicides to help replenish the soil and nutrients to give a good base for growing coffee once again. The farm is broken into 23 Manzanas with approximately 3000 trees in each section. The farm is beautifully divided with shade trees and wind barriers to protect the trees. The coffee is selectively harvested and from here it then is taken to the wet mill and drying beds at Beneficio San Rafael located bwteen the two hills of El Pilon and Cerro Aguila at 1450 masl.
