Rodrigo Sánchez purchased Finca La Loma in 2011. Since then, he’s been hard at work doing research on processes and varieties on the farm and he’s spent his years wisely. In 2017, coffees displaying the unique varieties and processes used at his other farm, Finca Monteblanco, won first place in the Yara Championship, a quality competition. He uses the same varieties and processes at Finca La Loma. He placed second the following year with another lot from Finca Monteblanco. In 2019, Rodrigo participated in the Roasters United competition and two of his coffees placed first and third.
Rodrigo Sánchez and his coffees from Finca La Loma have won many awards for the unique varieties and processing methods that he uses. It’s easy to see why he wins so many awards, his Sidra Cold Fermented Fully washed lot is to-die-for! Sidra is a cross between Typica and Bourbon that was discovered in Ecuador. The exact origins of Sidra’s name are unclear, but many think it may be named after the drink, cider, because of its fruity and winey profile.
