San Carlos Estate coffee is produced under ideal conditions which guarantees great quality for our clients. The farm is planted with Bourbon and Pacas tree varieties, both of the Arabica species, which contribute greatly to our high quality cup. Recently, due rust issues, new high quality varieties/hibrids are being tested. The coffee is grown in altitudes starting at 900 meters above seal level and reaching over 1300 meters above sea level. This ideal altitude, combined with the very important shade growing practices, allows the coffee fruit to reach it’s full maturity at which it is carefully handpicked. Since the farm surrounds the family’s coffee mill, the coffee cherry is processed immediately after it is picked reassuring that our strict quality standards will be met.
