Vista Alegre
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 is operated by Genezard Perez, who utilizes the unique geography of the San Fernando Valley to produce specialty coffee. While the farm is recognized for its specific microclimate and high-altitude conditions, documented history regarding the generational ownership or founding date of this specific coffee-producing site is not currently available in public records.
Challenges
The farm relies on the adjacent nature reserve to act as a natural buffer, which helps maintain the cool temperatures necessary to support the health and quality of the SL9 coffee plants.
Innovations
For the November 2025 release, ripe cherry was held in-cherry for 24 hours, floated, de-pulped, dry-fermented for 36 hours, and dried on raised beds for 20 days to about 10% moisture. These are lot-specific processing details.
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.
