Our Coffees
Arabica
There are many types of coffee in the world. In Finca San Luis we grow Arabica which is finer in taste. Arabica is grown in high altitudes and it is "harvested" (Cropped) by hand. By our coffee being planted in high altitudes, allows our grains to mature in a slower form and therefore allow for a fully developed flavor, aroma and a fruity, tangy and delicate acidity.
