As far as quality concerns we practice different techniques. That includes the experience of our employees, supported by the technical assistance from Anacafe, in order to assure the quality of our coffee. We have a semi wet mill to process quality beans and three patios to sun dry coffee. The farm has the proper infrastructure and trained people to take care of every step of the process. At the farm we are concerned towards environment. That is why we produce and use organic fertilizer (lombricompost).
