The story
Cerro Las Ranas, which translates to 'Hill of Frogs,' is named after a lagoon on the property inhabited by thousands of frogs. The farm is part of the JASAL operation, a family-owned business led by Jose Antonio Salaverria and his sons. The family manages the farm year-round and oversees all aspects of production, including quality control in their own cupping lab.
Challenges
The farm operates in a region where meticulous management is required to maintain quality, often involving the drying of coffee on clay patios and elevated tables to ensure consistency.
Innovations
For this honey lot, ripe cherries are pulped with mucilage intact, then dried on patios and raised tables with regular turning to promote even drying.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
