Meet The Producers

Pedro Garcia Diaz owns 2 hectares of land in the San Francisco village in the district of San Jose del Alto. Pedro grows bourbon, tabi and pache varieties and produces 60 exportable bags of coffee per year. Since Pedro lives in the city, his family manage his farm, but he spends time there during the harvest season and when they prune and apply fertiliser. 

Harvesting & Processing

Coffee is picked selectively to ensure that only ripe cherry is selected for processing. After harvest, the coffee is rested and pulped before being fermented for around 36 hours. This fermentation process helps to create interesting flavours in washed coffees. After fermentation, the coffee is washed to remove any remaining mucilage and then dried with regular turning to ensure the drying process is even.
