FINCA LA BOLSA

La Bolsa is the oldest of the three Vides 58 farms. Tucked in between majestic mountains, it looks like it has been placed within a bag, hence its atypical name, "Bolsa", meaning "bag" in Spanish. It is a magnificent 108-hectare farm with a history, situated on a limestone soil at an altitude of between 1,300 and 1,600 metres. It is a site suspended in time that benefits from very good weather conditions.

The farm is located at a very high altitude, which is rare, but above all it differs from the others in that perfection and innovation are constant priorities. Here, coffee quality remains a primary concern. The harvesting and drying processes are regularly reviewed and improved to ensure an exceptional coffee. And this work has paid off, since La Bolsa has won numerous awards for the quality of its coffees, including a Cup of Excellence in 2002.

The Ovalle family invests a great deal in their employees by developing a number of ambitious social projects for their plantations, including:
- a day care facility and school for their employees' children
- meals for all workers
- a higher wage than that paid by most of the country's farms

Preparation

The coffee is harvested at optimum maturity. Once de-pulped, it is left in a fermentation tank for 24 to 48 hours depending on the climate. It is then washed, sorted by density, and dried on a patio for 10 to 16 days.
