Farm details
Description: | Around the 1950's, Don Federico Pérez planted the first coffee plantation in Finca La Esperanza, changing the corn plantations, which predominated in these areas, in coffee-growing areas, because the only crop traditionally managed at these altitudes was the corn. The variety of coffee used was Typica, as it was the one that predominated in the area at this time. Don Federico owned a larger tract of land, which he was dividing and selling due to financial problems. It is until 2007 that the current administration (Hnos. De la Roca); sons and grandsons of Don Héctor de la Roca, began their management independently, continuing and improving the excellent work that Don Héctor de la Roca had started on said farm. The business vision of the current owners, frames the farm in a stable financial situation, after the well-known coffee crises, managing the company with technical, agronomic and financial foundations that lead to positive results for the environment in which the farm is managed. (workers, environment, owners). Since 2019; We decided to start the wet beneficiation process on the farm; with the purpose of ensuring the quality of the coffee that is produced; however with the limitations of not having adequate conditions for this purpose. This is how the idea of making coffees with artisanal processes arose, through the use of a grocer that works -without water- and the drying of coffee on African beds. In the case of elaboration of washed coffees, the use of water is minimal, making the greatest effort of washing by using the hands of our collaborators who strive to obtain a high quality product. The use of almost no water in the process transfers unmatched characteristics to the cup of our coffees. Finca La Esperanza is a family business whose members are fully committed to producing coffee of the highest quality and excellence, seeking a balance between productivity and sustainability of the environment in which it is grown. Its owners: Hermanos de la Roca; The administration of which is directed by: German and Erick de la Roca; They constantly seek new technologies and cultivation techniques that benefit the productivity of the plantations, without losing sight of the organoleptic characteristics of the harvested grains. |
