About this coffee
The story of Hacienda LA Luisa began in 1954, when the farm was purchased by a family of German origin in the hills of Sarchí, Costa Rica. At the time, the land was mainly used for dairy farming, but over the years the family gradually transitioned into growing both coffee and sugar cane, taking advantage of the regions rich volcanic soil and cool climate.
Today, Hacienda La Luisa is known not only for its coffee production but also for its importance to the surrounding community and environment. The farm helps protect important water sources for Sarchí and nearby towns, while also providing jobs for families in the rural communities of Los Angeles, Pueblo Nuevo and La Luisa.
The farm produces around 1,300 bags of coffee each year with approximately 35% of the production sold into the speciality market. The average age of the coffee trees is around 27 years old.
