La Esmeralda - Colombia South 2006 Verified listing

History

I am a coffee grower per tradition, I learnt the love to the coffee from my parents many years ago. After several years, finally in 1997 I bought my own farm, it is located in the area of Gaitania and I live here with my wife and children.

Environmental Care

I have been reforesting the farm with several kind of native trees, as guamos, cambulos and chachafrutos. The beneficiadero was built thinking in avoiding the contamination of the natural sources of water with the wastes from the process.

Coffee Processing Information

I pick red cherries, depulping is done the same day and for the drying process I use a mechanical drier I bought with the effort of my family and myself.
