Established in 1945, this family run operation emphasizes quality and pursuit of excellence.

Maximum elevation on the farm is 1,850 meters. The farm size is 15 hectares with 10 to 11 of those hectares planted with coffee trees. Because a ridge runs down the middle of the farm, two distinct micro-climates exist.

The farm is mainly Caturra and Catuai with a small amou nt of Typical and Geisha.  Both Caturra and Catuai varietals are dwarf/compact in stature and produces good quality coffee beans at high altitudes.

The farm employs many local families for harvesting.  Because the higher elevation, the Bambito estate is one of the last farms to be harvested.  The mill removes the pulp and mucilage mechanically, then sun-dries to achieve the proper water moisture. Then, if needed, drum driers are used to achieve the desired dryness.

Bambito Estate is focused on organic farming and sustainability. As many farms do, Bambito uses the leftover cherry pulp for fertilizer. The pulp is worked as compose for a few months, shifting from bin to bin, then applied to each plant.

Attention to quality yields excellent specialty coffee beans year over year. Check our Featured Coffees section for Bambito Estate Roasted Coffee buying options.
