La Fany
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 estate has been in the family since the early 1900s. Drop Coffee reports that Rafael and Carmen da Silva Hoff bought La Fany from an aunt in the early 1990s, and that a Red Bourbon from the farm placed fourth in the 2005 El Salvador Cup of Excellence.
Challenges
The farm operates within the Apaneca-Ilamatepec region, which has faced significant pressure from coffee leaf rust, a common issue for producers in El Salvador.
Innovations
La Fany separates varieties and lots through its own mill. Drop Coffee documents Pacamara among plantings established from 2017 onward; the exact Pacamara release is washed, but its fermentation and drying protocol is not published.
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.
