Finca La María lies high in the mountains, in the La Tagua area, in one of the traditional coffee regions of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Coffee has been grown in these mountains for generations, and the local farms carry on a tradition that has been developing since the late 19th century.
La María is a family farm where the coffee is still picked by hand and processed in the conditions of mountain climate, mist and tropical forest. The farm and its coffee trees are cared for by Arquímedes, who continues the work of generations of growers tied to the La Tagua landscape.
