Located just 30 minutes from the Juan Santamaría International Airport, La Quitana is a coffee producing area in the Central Valley known for its high yields and extraordinary cup quality. This farm has very fertile soil, thanks to its volcanic composition, sandy loam base, and rich nutrients. The region also boasts a warm climate that is incomparable for coffee cultivation, where mountain winds blowing through the “Paso de La Palma” depression contribute directly to soil aeration and an environment of singular beauty.
