About The Coffee:San Cayetano was acquired by Rafael Sr. in 1986 from a local family that had completely abandoned the land. It was in bad shape. Rafael began re planting the farm completely over the years as some of the trees had died out due to the lack of attention and fertilizer.
Thanks to numerous renewal projects the lots are thriving. The farm has a 50% shade covering which helps protect the trees from the sun and helps the cherries mature slowly.Most of the land is flat and has been renewed with Red Caturra, SL-34, SL-28, and Orange Bourbon.
