Finca La Palestina
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 La Palestina was established in 1976 when Don José Alarcón and Doña Zobeida Coronel moved to San José del Alto to cultivate coffee on land that was previously cattle pasture. Over the following decades, the farm expanded through the acquisition of neighboring parcels as the family grew. Today, the estate is managed by three generations of the Alarcón Coronel family, with various members operating seven distinct parcels across the property.
Challenges
The farm operates in a remote mountainous region, and the family notes that coffee trees typically require three or more years to reach desired productivity levels.
Innovations
The family uses a centralized wet mill where José and Anibal oversee fermentation and drying across the farm's parcels.
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.
