Description

Producer Yoni Pichica has been growing coffee for 25 years. This coffee comes from the Guadualejo farm which is only 1 hectare of growing area (6000 trees) and produces caturra and the Colombia varietal. These small producers work on plots of land between 1.8 – 2 ha in size and farm coffee up to altitudes of 2100 masl. The farms are planted with caturra, typica, bourbon, tabi, castillo and some pink bourbon. Traditionally the coffee is fully washed and once harvested the coffee is then pulped and fermented for between 20-40 hours depending on the local environment. After this the coffee is washed and any immatures removed and then it is dried for between 8 – 15 days weather depending in parabolic driers.
