ABOUT THE FARM AND PROCESSING

Lisandro is the son of a coffee producer, which is why coffee has accompanied him throughout his entire life. As he says himself, he "inherited" the profession of a producer from his father. He completed courses in coffee production at the National Learning Service (SENA), and nearly ten years ago he established his own plantation. In addition to Caturra, Don Lisandro also cultivates Gesha and Pink Bourbon varieties.

Don Lisandro owns a five-hectare farm, 4.5 hectares of which are dedicated to coffee crops. The plantation is located on soil typical of this region, which is a combination of volcanic and sandy-loam substrate.

Only deep red, ripe cherries are harvested. In the afternoon, the pulp is removed from them, and they are then sorted using a zaranda – a type of screen used to separate impurities from the coffee. The beans later ferment in open tanks for 18–26 hours and are rinsed three times. Finally, they go to parabolic dryers, where they dry for 12–20 days, depending on weather conditions.

Store in a cool and dry place.
