¿Cómo se cultivan nuestros cafés tradicionales?
We offer two main agricultural processes: the natural process and the fermented washed process.
The cultivation of our coffees begins with a meticulous selection of regions that offer ideal conditions to develop unique and distinctive flavors. These regions are frequently found at high altitudes with cool climates and moderate rainfall, encompassing outstanding areas of Colombia, El Salvador, Kenya, Brazil, Honduras, Peru, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Rwanda and other parts of the world where coffee plantations thrive. Here, coffee trees are carefully cultivated in soils rich in volcanic minerals, using sustainable practices that promote biodiversity and protect the plants with natural shade provided by taller trees.
Natural Process: The beans are harvested by hand when they reach optimum maturity on farms located in regions of high altitude and tropical climate. The beans are then dried naturally in patios or canopies, or in industrial dryers depending on local climatic conditions. This method takes advantage of the specific agro-environmental characteristics of the growing areas, where the combination of altitude and tropical climate favors the development of a natural sweetness intensified by a higher concentration of sugars on the bean surface. It is ideal for those who prefer a coffee with a sweet and pronounced profile, highlighting the unique characteristics of the terroir.
Fermented Washing Process: Begins with the pulping of the beans, followed by a controlled fermentation process to eliminate the mucilage from the parchment. This method is practiced in farms located in regions with specific agro-environmental conditions that favor the production of coffee beans with exceptional quality and a distinctive flavor. It is preferred by small producers who value complexity and clarity in the coffee profile, highlighting the unique qualities of the environment in which it is grown.
