About this coffee

Finca La Alpina is located above the Chaparastique volcano, in the department of San Miguel, in the municipality of Chinameca.

On this 148-hectare farm, 142 hectares of which are given over to coffee, Cyrille Beraud grows different varieties in the shade of mango, banana, laurel, pepeto and tambor trees: Pacamara, Bourbon, Catuai, Costa Rica 95, Anacafé 14 and Catimor.

This "ancestral red bourbon" was planted over 50 years ago in the highest altitudes of the farm, where Cyrille Beraud also grows cocoa.
