Malacara translates as ‘bad face’ which is an incongruous name for such a wonderful farm. Finca Malacara which was established by Rafael Alvarez Lalinde. Coffee has been grown on this farm since the 1800s and it has been owned and managed by the Alvarez family since 1889. As the farm has been passed down through three generations it has been separated into three farms, Malacara A, B and C. José Guillermo Alvarez Prunera and Maria Alvarez De Murray along with the farm manager Cornelio Azucena have grown a fantastic crop on Malacara A this year. The coffee is full of spicy fruit and sweetness and just as great as we remember that first sample we received five years ago. The pickers at Malacara are exceptionally skilled, picking only the very best cherry and going back over the trees a number of times to get the crop in.
