Piedra de Candela

Small coffee locality in Chiriqui near the Costa Rica border, seen on lot labels such as a Las Gallardo washed Caturra.

Belco lists Piedra Candela, in Chiriqui and bordering Costa Rica, as the origin of a washed Caturra from the Gallardo sisters' farm at about 1,750 m, harvested December to March. That is a single farm, so no wider altitude or varietal range is asserted, and no independent administrative confirmation of the place name was found.
