Solórzano Family of Finca La Margarita

Origins, improvement and dedication

The history of the Solórzano Family is deeply rooted in the mountains of Ocobamba, Cusco, Peru. Finca La Margarita has been the home and heart of this family for generations. Brothers Marco, Neto and Iván Solórzano, who are part of the third generation of coffee farmers, have inherited not only the land, but also a rich tradition of growing high-quality coffee. This farm is more than a workplace; It is a story of dedication, passion and commitment to excellence.

In 2017, the Solórzano brothers decided to transform their family farm into a specialty coffee project. With the vision of not only improving their production, but also supporting other local producers, they created the family project La Margarita Coffee Reserve. This project has been a catalyst for economic and social development in the region, providing education and resources to neighboring coffee farmers.

Marco Solórzano, one of the leaders of this project, has worked tirelessly to perfect production processes and ensure that each coffee bean reflects the quality and care put into its cultivation. Their dedication has been rewarded with recognition in the Cup of Excellence, a prestigious coffee competition that highlights the best coffees in the world.

The Solorzano coffee

Processes and quality

Finca La Margarita is distinguished by its advanced cultivation and processing techniques. Coffee trees are grown at altitudes between 1840 and 2030 meters above sea level, protected by native trees that provide shade and an ideal environment for the ripening of coffee cherries. Cultivated varieties include Geisha, Bourbon, and other exotic varieties, each selected for their unique characteristics.

The estate's coffee is processed using innovative methods, such as anaerobic fermentation and extended drying in African beds. These methods ensure that each batch of coffee develops a complex and balanced flavor profile. The Solórzano brothers meticulously supervise each stage of the process, from selective harvesting to drying and storage, to guarantee the highest quality.

Certifications and social and environmental impact

Finca La Margarita is committed to sustainability and environmental conservation. They use regenerative agriculture practices, including the use of compost and organic fertilizers that improve soil health and promote biodiversity. The farm is also proud of its organic certifications, ensuring that all products are grown without the use of harmful chemicals.

The impact of the Solórzano Family goes beyond coffee production. Through La Margarita Coffee Reserve, they have created an environment of collaboration and support for local coffee farmers. This project not only improves the quality of coffee in the region, but also provides education, resources and employment opportunities for many families.

The farm is a model of social and environmental responsibility. The Solórzano brothers work to ensure that every part of the production process is sustainable and beneficial to the community. This includes training programs for local producers, water and soil conservation projects, and ongoing efforts to improve the quality of life for coffee-growing families in Ocobamba.
