Now, over a century later, Rafael Silva, his wife Carmen, and their eldest son Rafael Jnr. have turned La Siberia into one of the most renowned farms in El Salvador. The farm is planted with a wide range of varieties, including BourbonBourbonOne of the two foundational arabica varieties (with Typica), named after Île Bourbon (Réunion).
