Gran del Val Geisha Depulped P56 & F85

The Gran Del Val name represents four generations dedicated to coffee cultivation. Its history takes us back to 1914, when Gabriel de Dianous established his first coffee plantation. In 1991, the second generation under the direction of Ricardo Fernández Carazo and his wife Teresita de Dianous continued the family tradition and founded Cafetalera Fernández, the family business that processes and commercializes our coffee.

The coffee plantations (estate coffee) are located in the mountains of Boquete at an altitude of up to 1,600 meters above sea level, blessed with a rich volcanic soil, cool climate, and a fine drizzle called "bajareque" that lasts throughout the year. According to coffee experts, it has an ideal microclimate that contributes to the production of excellent specialty coffee. Gran de Val is well known for its coffee varieties; Typica, Geisha, Java, Caturra, and Catuai.
