Spanning two hectares, Finca El Naranjo showcases family-run coffee farming at its finest! Owner Edmundo Ceron is efficient with his land and takes a methodical approach to farming by organizing his coffee varieties into lots. El Naranjo also joined the AWASKA project, an initiative formed by InConexus around 6 villages in the area. This project unifies 25 coffee-growing families, each with an average of 2 hectares of land and similar challenging soil conditions and microclimate. Under Edmundo's leadership, together they've established a central processing and drying center where controlled practices take place to create distinct flavor profiles.
Only ripe cherries were harvested, sorted by density, and sanitized. The whole cherries fermented in sealed bags for 24 hours before being de-pulped. After a subsequent fermentation in mucilage for another 48 hours, the cherries then dried on patios for 20-25 days.
