El Itacayo

This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.

The story

Angel Arturo Paz Ramirez is a third-generation coffee producer who gained extensive experience working at the Beneficio San Vicente mill. He purchased his first property, Finca La Colmena, in 2007 and later acquired the El Itacayo farm in El Dorado, Santa Barbara, in 2018. He has been a consistent participant and high-placer in the Cup of Excellence competition since 2011.

Innovations

The farm utilizes a specific washed process involving depulping cherries in the afternoon, followed by 16 hours of dry fermentation and four separate washings before drying on concrete patios for 15 days.

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.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
