San Isidro
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 has been in Katia Duke's family for generations. After the 2012 leaf rust epidemic, she used her agronomy and roasting experience to push the farm further into specialty coffee.
Challenges
Coffee leaf rust seriously affected the farm in 2012. The family also had to move from conventional local-market production toward the stricter practices required for specialty coffee.
Innovations
Katia Duke applies agronomy training, selective harvesting and controlled processing across separately documented San Isidro lots.
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.
