Tablon DIvisadero lies next to the well known Himalaya farm in the Apaneca highlands, the five hectareas were bought in 2009 from a cousin who left to Canada and wanted the property to be left in good hands. Finca Himalaya has been in the Salaverria´s Lagos family long coffee tradition since the late 1800´s and it still mostly cultivated with Bourbón and Typica varietals that have made its cup world renowned . Add to this the outstanding microclimate, altitude and the perfect picking of the cherry, all processed in our own Micro Mill, and you get the delicate and sophisticated cup of your dreams
