Driven by the commitment of the family to enhancing both their coffee quality and livelihoods, they have invested in infrastructure to facilitate the production of differentiated coffee.

This coffee was first floated with only the best selection of cherries being picked. The ripe selection is then placed in containers for 32 hours where Anaerobic fermentation will occur at 17° Celsius. The cherries are then moved into tanks for an oxidation process that spans over 52 total hours with the beans being pulped in-between. Following this, the coffee goes through a submerged fermentation process for 80 hours at 40° Celsius. At the next stage thermal shock occurs while the coffee is being washed at 65-70° Celsius to complete fermentation. Finally, the coffee is moved to a parabolic drying system, drying takes between 18 - 24 days.
