La Sierra
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 Sierra is located in El Cedral, Santa Barbara, and was established by the Moreno family. The late Daniel Moreno was a pioneering producer and a founder of the village of El Cedral. Today, the farm operates as a communal project managed by his children, Mario, Danny, and Mabel Moreno.
Challenges
The farm operates in a region where coffee production is subject to variable weather conditions, which influence the duration of the drying process.
Innovations
For SEY’s 2025 Gesha separation, ripe cherries were floated, depulped, dry-fermented for 24 hours, washed, and dried on raised beds for 16 days.
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.
