The story

Las Virginias was historically managed by Don Fabio Caballero, with management gradually passing to his grandson Fabio Jr. Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera also help manage the family's farms. Intelligentsia has worked with the Caballero family since 2003 and says the family has grown Geisha since 2012.

Challenges

Project Origin identifies coffee leaf rust (la roya) as a recurring challenge at Las Virginias and describes the family's ongoing replanting and attentive field management.

Innovations

Project Origin documents a 2025 Las Virginias Geisha lot that used mechanical demucilage, a 12-hour final fermentation and low-temperature Guardiola drying at 40–50°C for 60–70 hours. This protocol is tied to that documented lot and is not assumed for every release.

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.
