Bourbon coffee was originally cultivated on Réunion Island, which was also known as Île Bourbon before 1789. Simply put, Bourbon is a coffee variety belonging to a branch of the Arabica species. It generally produces red fruits, called Red Bourbon. In addition, there are Yellow Bourbon and Orange Bourbon. Yellow Bourbon has relatively lower yields but better quality.

Typica is a coffee bean variety name and one of the oldest varieties among many Arabica species. Also known as old variety small-grain coffee, Typica has low yields and is difficult to cultivate, so its price is much higher than ordinary small-grain coffee. Typica coffee originated in southeastern Ethiopia and Sudan and is the most widely cultivated coffee variety in the Western Hemisphere.

Finca Himalaya is located in the famous growing region of Santa Ana, situated in the Apaneca mountain range at an altitude of 1500 meters. It is one of the few estates managed by Aida Batlle. The main variety cultivated is Bourbon.

The coffee beans produced by this estate are washed at the El Divisadero processing plant in Ataco, under the name of Mauricio Salaverria, then evenly dried using sun-drying and ventilation on African raised beds. Mauricio inherited his parents' and grandparents' business and has been involved with coffee since childhood, particularly focusing on specialty coffee cultivation.
