Description
The farm belonged to the Falla Schumacher family from 1970 until 2023, which now belongs to the Falla Castillo family. It is located on the slopes of the Acatenango volcano at 1700 - 2000 masl with coffee plantations and a forest area. The farm has varieties such as Bourbon and Geisha, the star coffee of La Tacita is the natural red Bourbon.
La Tacita coffee is all processed at San Miguel mill. First, the farm sends the cherries separated by varietals. Then, the mill processes the cherries through a newly installed micro-mill, designed to process high altitude, single varietal coffees that have been properly picked at the ripest stage. After removing the pulp, the coffee is fermented, washed and dried in African Beds, installed at the mill 3 years ago.
La Tacita is currently under heavy renewing efforts, planting new tissue with an aim to increase production while maintaining quality.
