La Leona
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
Edgardo learned coffee farming from his father and later bought La Leona in 2015. He now works with his sons Mauricio and Junior. Verve documents a washed Parainema lot, while Cup of Excellence records document distinct Pacas and natural Pacamara lots from La Leona.
Challenges
Cool, high-elevation conditions slow cherry maturation. Release-specific production quantities and processing durations are not consistently published.
Innovations
The Tinoco family maintains separate cultivar and process lots rather than treating La Leona as one uniform coffee. Competition records confirm both washed and natural preparations.
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.
