about this farm community

The San Vicente farm is situated in the region of Santa Barbara Mountain, a mountainous range
of more than 121.3 km2 of land for coffee plantation.  Reaching a maximum height of 2750
meters above sea level, which is mostly a virgin forest reserve declared a national park since
1987. The farm has an average rainfall of 3512mm per annum, with a relative humidity of
81.12%.  San Vicente grows varieties of Pacas, Red and Yellow Catuai, Bourbon and Catimor with
15-35% shadow to shade coffee plants.

Most of the native people of the region began growing coffee since the 1940s, mainly in the
lowlands, although it was always a secondary crop. Starting in the 1970s, coffee became the
main crop in the area, driven by the rise in prices at that time, with Typica and Bourbon the most used
varieties.  Since then, coffee has been the bedrock of the local economy of these communities and an
important cultural element.

Cherries are picked carefully and de-pulped the same day.  The parchment Is then put into
fermentation tanks for dry fermentation for approximately 18 hours.  The parchment is rinsed
four times in tanks, before it is put inside the parabolic solar dryer and left for 14-22 days.  During
the drying process, the coffee is sorted meticulously by hand to remove defects. and the proof of this labor intensive process is evident in the cup
