La Guaca is a family venture. Jose oversees operations and cherry picking, Marina (his wife) manages processing and drying, while Blanca (their daughter) handles records and farm administration. Their teamwork has made the farm more efficient and brought them closer as a family. Jose is now passing his knowledge to Blanca, ensuring the Bourbon Aji legacy endures for generations. 

The Salazars take great care in processing their coffee. After selective harvesting, cherries are floated to remove defects, pulped without water and fermented for 36-50 hours in sealed containers. The beans are then washed, cleaned mechanically, and dried on covered patios for 15-25 days, depending on the altitude and climates.

As a parting message, the Salazar family shares: “this coffee represents a family effort, and we are committed to preserving the Bourbon Aji variety to showcase its quality to the world. It’s a variety born on this farm, thriving in our altitude and region. 

RECOMMENDED Suitable for Filter brewing methods and French press.
