Cup of Excellence winner and fourth generation coffee producer, Jose Vargas runs the Finca Granada high in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec range. The 32 acre plot has been in his family’s stewardship since 1964 when his grandfather Jose purchased it from a well known grower and mill operator. Jose acquired the farm from his father and took over operations in 1988. With the exception of a small number of Typica trees first planted here in the early 1900’s, Granada is entirely devoted to the production of specialty grade bourbon varietals.

Today Jose still uses his family’s generations-old farming techniques to manage growing operations; such as a system of selective stem and root bending, known as agobios, which helps maximize overall tree density. Each of the farms acres contain approximately 59 Inga trees, providing both a natural shade canopy for the coffee and the perfect environment for hawks, woodpeckers, hummingbirds and other small animals to nest. In turn they contribute to a thriving local ecosystem where insect and pest populations are kept in check without causing harm to the coffee plants.
