Finca Arcangel was planted in 2015 and had its first harvest in 2017. What’s unique about the farm is that all the red and yellow caturras were grown separately from the other varieties, to experiment with the taste of an exclusively red or yellow cup.
Caturra is Pedro’s favorite variety – he explains that it’s a very noble one both on the farm and in the cup. On the farm, the variety has a very good productivity, strong leaves, and pickers like it very much because the cherries tend to grow at the lower part of the plant, so it makes the job a lot easier as they can be reached better. In the cup, it’s a very sweet variety, balanced, consistent and it can be very well processed both, as washed or dried coco natural. We like to call them Agricafe’s warriors. Until recently, a majestic tree used to sit at the highest point of the farm, larger than all the rest and seemed to look down on the land, keeping it safe and protecting it as if it were an archangel. And so the farm got its name. What’s also special is that the farm is located at a steep mountain, with plenty of micro climates, which result in different times of maturation of the cherries and the harvest on this farm lasts up to 6 months!
Are the hill names that have farmers who produce the coffee - we ask for the cherries to be kept separate from each for transparency. Every harvest we commit to fulfill the highest standards possible while focusing on innovation practices that protect our ecosystem.
