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
Finca El Suspiro is managed by Ricardo Silva, a second-generation coffee grower who learned the craft from his father. Silva established the farm over 20 years ago after gaining experience in the industry from an early age.
Challenges
The farm's journey has involved various challenges, though specific details regarding these obstacles were not explicitly elaborated upon in the available documentation.
Innovations
The farm utilizes a specific processing protocol involving a 24-hour initial fermentation of cherries, followed by a 48-hour fermentation of depulped parchment in sealed tanks before washing and drying on raised beds.
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.
