Ricardo Valdivieso named this farm after his wife Patricia because he says, just as it was with her, it was love at first sight when he discovered this farm. Both Ricardo and Patricia have been producing coffee as long as they can remember, in fact the coffee history of the family dates back to 1865. 

Notable landmarks in the region include the beautiful town of Concepción de Ataco and ‘El Imposible’ national park in the Apaneca llamatepec mountain range.

The Art of Production

Finca Patricia is located between Apaneca and San Pedro Puxtla town.  The farm only produces shade-grown coffee. This not only creates an excellent micro-climate and protects the coffee trees from the sun, but it also serves as a habitat for many local and migratory birds, foxes, rabbits, and other small mammals. Lately the deer population is increasing as well.

This bourbon lot was naturally processed. Selectively handpicked cherries are floated to sort by density, and then the prime cherries are dried on a combination of patio and raised bed for an average of 20 days.
