The coffee harvest season starts in late November, with Finca Las Lluvias providing the first fruits of the season. By mid and late December Finca La  Montaña, which is higher in altitude, emerges in vibrant crimson.

​

Ripe cherries are picked each day from strategic areas of our farms. This work continues well into the month of January.  Usually, local community members and family comprise the diligent workforce. 

 

Daily, everyone's collective efforts are weighed and packed into quintales (sacks) and sent for processing at one of the  local beneficios (coffee wet/ dry mill). During this time, we decide which cherries will be processed as Wash / Honey / Natural. For the 2024/2025 season we are working with BuenaVista Coffee Mill.

Prior to roasting, cherries must go through this transformative journey, from pulped fruit to polished seed...
