San Ramon
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 was founded in 1992 by Donald Efraín Roque López. In its early years, the estate covered 20 manzanas and produced 89 quintals of coffee. Over the decades, the founder expanded the operation by acquiring adjacent plots of land to reach its current size.
Challenges
The farm operates in a region where coffee production is subject to significant environmental variables, with annual rainfall levels reaching between 1,600 and 2,000 cubic millimeters.
Innovations
A dedicated processing line is calibrated for Gesha. For this lot, washed coffee was fermented in barrels and dried on patios with extra attention.
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.
