La Unión
With a privileged
location that allows a magnificent view towards the Central Valley, is
the property La Unión, which has belonged to the family of Mrs. Maria
Elena Camacho more than 50 years. Approximately half of this property is
planted with coffee, trusting that the altitude above sea level and the
good soil will produce high quality coffee beans. Nevertheless, and
although indeed it produced coffee of great quality, the instability of
the business took Mrs. Camacho and to her family to ask themselves about
the future of this business.
A year ago the family took the decision to retake
with energy the property and its crop, betting for quality. In this
property the family decided to build their own mill, with the purpose of
guaranteeing the quality in all the processes.
For Mrs. Camacho, the most difficult and rewarding at
the same time was to remember the hard years of work of her grandfather
and father. But, when she won the Cup of the Excellence it made her
remember again, but with much joy and satisfaction, the efforts of her
family during so many years, and seeing how the coffee blood even runs
in her grandsons.
