Farm Review: Finca Los Toños is the second producing farm of the Alvarado Fonseca Family, which they acquired in 2016, and with which they took an unexpected turn, the harvest work increased in production, for which they had to hire indigenous labor Panamanians and Nicaraguan personnel. After several harvests, and after research, work on genetic improvement, such as the way of managing our coffee plants, Jhon Alvarado Fonseca, owner, father and founder of Corazón de Jesús Micro Mill together with his family make the decision to participate in the Cup of Excellence with an Anaerobic F1 Millennium. This farm is located in Piedra de Rivas and measures around 6 hectares of which remain fully cultivated. This farm has around 11 varieties including Catuaí, Villalobos, Villasarchi, Blue Mountain, Bourbon Amarillo, SL 28, Geisha and its new components Milenio F1, T5296, H3 and Centroamericano, maintains a height that goes from 1650 meters above sea level sea ​​up to 1700 meters above sea level.

Like its fellow 2022 Cup of Excellence 17th place winner, it features a process developed by the family and the Micro Mill, which is called Double Natural Anaerobic.
