Located in the town of La Trinidad, San Isidro of León Cortés at 1600 m.a.s.l, this place is in the heart of Los Santos region, were coffee plantations are protected by shadows of big bushes and native plants of the area.
It is a custom among the locals to have pleasant social gatherings in the middle of various festivities dedicated to our Patron Saints, as well as sharing a daily greeting between the neighbors, taking into consideration that everyone here knows each other, either because they are relatives or friends.
Being located in the mecca of coffee, in this famous area we grow the caturra variety. For your enjoyment we have developed an exquisite red honey; 100% honey processed in the mill La Lía de Tarrazú. This is the first time that this farm has passed to the electronic auction. With a lot of effort we have done a lot of research in different processes and different varieties, so we can reach different cup profiles to satisfy the most demanding palates of our customers.
