Sourcing note

Thirty years ago, José Roberto bought this old corn farm in this dry region, then gradually extended the surface area of his property by buying other farms in the vicinity, El Dorado and Montaña Helada, to reach 990 hectares. 330 are planted, and 660 are primary forests under conservation.

It was a desert here, a deforested mountain cultivated with corn. No fewer than 500,000 trees had to be planted to regenerate the land, and the slopes terraced to combat erosion before the coffee trees could be planted, to nourish the soil depleted by years of intensive cultivation sprinkled with chemical inputs. A mammoth task.

Today, the coffee trees are impressively vital and the cherries are huge. The Geisha tastes like papaya and the Pacamara, like peach and dried apricot. No herbicides, fertilizers are partly produced on the farm.

This farm is designed to produce large volumes of coffee. The best micro-lots benefit from the quality of the infrastructure and the large, qualified staff.
