About the producer

Tadeo is a traditional farmer who maintains a diversified property and cares for the health of his soils greatly. His son Benjamin studied agriculture in university and specialises in coffee production. 

About the processing

Tadeo's de-pulper is located on his farm, so he de-pulps the coffee the same day that it's picked on the farm. After being de-pulped, the coffee undergoes controlled tank fermentation for about 25 hours. From there, it's left for a reposo - a period of time where it's left under cold water - before washing it. Then, the coffee is brought down to the raised beds outside of the house where it's left to dry under mesh coverings over 10 to 15 days.
