The coffee story
Each blend is made of cherries picked and delivered to the co-operative on the same day. The cherries are mixed according to criteria such as altitude and certifications.
Farm size ranges from 2.5 to 50 manzanas (1.75 to 35 hectares) and is usually divided into 2 or more parcelas or plots which are not always linked. Price of land is high (around USD 16.000 per manzana, some say), forcing farmers to grow their plots by buying parcelas in different places.
The cherries are processed at Capucas mill. After being separated, the cherries are loaded into a sealed stainless steel tank for up to 72 hours. They are then taken to shade covered raised beds where they dry for up to 30 days.
The process
This coffee was harvested at its optimum point of maturation in the plots of our producers which have different seals of certification that support the quality that they produce, after being harvested the producers take their coffee in cherry to the facilities of the cooperative where it is processed the same day of cutting to maintain the quality and good care of the same, here we carry out a process called anaerobic or controlled fermentation, this is done after the coffee beans have been selected at their optimum point of maturity, they are pulped, this coffee is not fermented, it only takes the pulping process, right after a process of controlled fermentation is carried out for 72 hours with specific temperature and time to develop the profile that is required and that this can be replicable, then this coffee is taken to a solar dryer and the complete process of slow drying is carried out from 25 to 32 days, this can vary according to the climate, but it is important that while working there is a lot of sun to avoid damage and loss of the good characteristics of the process then this is also stored in grainpro bags so that it is in perfect condition to be consumed, this coffee is prepared with part of the production of Yaderi Lopez and Marel Portillo, who have their plots at an altitude of 1550 to 1750 meters above sea level.

Perfumy in the nose- citrus, lots of red berries, stone fruit and some florals in the cup accompanied by mild citric acidity and smooth body. Bright and clean.

Cooperativa Cafetalera Capucas Limitada (COCAFCAL) was founded in 1999 by Omar Rodríguez Interiano and a group of coffee producers in the village of Las Capucas. Back then, Omar wanted to share his knowledge on cultivation and successful commercialisation with local growers, many of whom were part of his family. Today we are a family of more than 900 coffee farmers who share a common vision: to grow coffee with social and environmental responsibility, adding value to our clients and contributing to the well-being of our people. We are organic certified and champion our members by separating lots that can be sold as single farm micro-lots. Capucas also has a handful of social projects: we support a group of female producers who sell roasted coffee in the internal market, we built a football field (our first championship started just now, in February 2020!) and we partnered with a university to offer online courses. Our cupping lab is open to all and we encourage growers to learn!
