About San Rafael farm
Norma Iris Fiallos owns the farm San Rafael, located in the Los Limos area of Corquin, Copan. Norma is one of the most innovative producers in the area, with a vast array of different varieties, including bourbon, catuai, maragogype and parainema.
The farm is nestled within a pine forest, which greatly acidifies the
soil, giving the coffee a very unique cup profile. The coffee is completely shade grown and the production area represents a fraction of the total land.
All the processing takes place at the Aruco at 800masl which gives a drier more stable climate to dry the
coffee compared to up at the farm where the weather can be less predictable.
This maragoype lot was then depulped and fermented overnight before then being washed and cleaned to remove the mucilage.
