Vandaluz
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
Vandaluz is the inaugural farm and the first plot of land fully owned by the Los Volcanes Coffee team. The property was originally managed by Rafael Zamora, who established early standards for soil care and processing before his retirement. Following his departure, the Los Volcanes team assumed direct management to implement an organic approach and conduct experimental variety testing across the 8-hectare site.
Challenges
The farm faces environmental pressures typical of the Antigua region, including the need for careful shade management and soil nutrient maintenance to ensure consistent cherry maturation on the slopes of Volcán de Agua.
Innovations
Intelligentsia describes Vandaluz as an experimental farm; no further farm-level innovation claims are published on the exact product page.
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.
