Finca La Reforma, a Specialty coffee that looks for perfection with the use of experimental techniques
Finca La Reforma covers about 36 hectares, mainly cultivated withvarieties Red Bourbon. The harvest is done exclusively by hand to ensure the highest quality in the selection of the most ripe drupes. The micro batch that we managed to select has undergone an experimental process: double processing Natural / Washed. The batch was initially prepared with the natural method. It was dry fermented on raised beds. When the cherries reached the desired residual humidity, they were processed in the historic family mill, El Borbollon. Peel and mucilage removal is only partial. They were left for the next step and only thanks to the “washed” process, removed by fermentation. The result is an unmatched increase in body and sweetness. In the cup it develops a remarkable aromatic complexity with hints of fresh fig, cashews and sultanas. Finca La Reforma was founded by Rafael Alvarez L. in 1892 on the slopes of the Santa Ana volcano. It is now owned by Hermanos Alvarez Diaz, the fourth generation of this family with deep roots in the world of specialty coffees. La Reforma is grown with the “Red Bourbon” coffee variety. The excellent conditions for growth and the commitment to developing sustainable practices make the Diaz family a point of reference in the world of Specialty Coffee.
