Nectar - Bolivia 2007 Verified listing

Nectar History Anacleto Uluri is a first generation coffee producer and first time participant in the cup of excellence. “I wanted to participate to see what the quality of our product was,” he said, “so that we can find a sustainable market.” “Now we want to increase our production by another half hectare and at the same time continue to improve production,” explained Anacleto. Quality Practices Ripe cherries are hand harvested from June to September. Depulping is done daily immediately after harvest on-site. Depulped coffee is fermented for 15 hours and washed with clean water from mountain streams. The coffee is then sun-dried on drying tables.
