Finca Las Chicharras
Finca Las Chicharras
Finca Las Chicharras is a Cup of Excellence 2018 winning farm and also E-Cafe’s first finca. After a few years into coffee business, we realized the need for a finca. Starting with Finca Las Chicharras, E-Cafe obtained a stable source of coffee that we can control on our own. Finca Las Chicharras is located in Jaltenango (now Angel Albino Corzo) where many of the Chiapas coffee goes to.
Finca Las Chicharras S.A. de C.V. is a subsidiary of E-Cafe Chiapas.
