La Cumbre

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

The farm is managed by Hector Hernandez, who is a first-generation coffee grower. He purchased the property in 2011 to begin his coffee production and later expanded his focus to include high-quality varieties like Gesha in 2021.

Innovations

For the documented October 2024 Gesha lot, coffee was held in cherry overnight, depulped, dry-fermented for 48 hours, mechanically dried at 20–30°C for 24 hours, stabilized for one week in sealed GrainPro and returned to the dryer until 10% moisture. This is lot-specific processing.

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.
