The farm covers 90ha and from that 45ha forms coffee plantation and the rest is kept as natural forest preserve. The Perez family also started growing avocados which helps diversify their income as well as the natural environment.
Finca La Soledad is well know for high quality and the longevity of their coffee. They make sure that with process applied they will maintain the highest possible quality for a long period of time.
They use a traditional washed method of processing and everything is done manually from picking to drying. They have been experimenting with other methods of processing to achieve new flavor profiles and push the boundaries.
Multiple Cup Of Excellence participant and award winner gained a great respect and recognition in the whole coffee chain. They never stop improving, developing and implementing new ideas to achieve excellence.
La Soledad has been experimenting not only with coffee processing but also coffee varieties. They have been working closely and conducting research with WORLD COFFEE RESEARCH and testing new varieties and conditions for coffee hybrids focusing on resistance, quality and higher productivity.
We are grateful to be able to share their inherited passion for coffee, their persistence in always aiming for a better tomorrow as well as respect for their ancestors and their inherited land.
