The coffee story

Our farm is home to the magical and wonderful Guacharacas, beautiful birds that live in the forests linving as a couple and moving in small flocks; its sonorous and powerful sond accompanies our collectors indicating the beginning and end of the work. 
It is a pleasure for us to name this micro-lot Las Guacharacas in honor of such an emblematic bird.

The process

Los granos maduros son recolectados manualmente. Al llegar a la planta de beneficio el café se depositan en una tolva, donde los granos son sometidos a un proceso de fermentación controlada durante 22 horas, finalizando este proceso los granos se despulpan y depositan en un tanque de acero inoxidable donde se realiza una fermentación láctica controlada durante 17 horas,es lavados y finalmente el café se somete a un secado lento aprovechando la energia solar, en una marquesina por aproximadamente 10 días hasta obtener una humedad adecuada entre 10 y 12.
