Continuous Learning and Challenge
Andres owns about 3 hectares of land and first began cultivating the Geisha variety in 2018. Coffee cultivation for him symbolizes learning, dedication, and continuous growth. Through the Cup of Excellence project, coffee has become more than just a job; it has become a source of pride for his entire family and brings deep fulfillment.
Harvesting takes place from June to July, where fully ripe cherries are selected. Subsequently, after anaerobic fermentation in tanks, slow drying is carried out for 30 to 50 days in a cool environment, further enhancing the fruit-derived sweetness and complexity, resulting in a profound flavor.
The lot that won the Cup of Excellence this time is Andres's life itself, filled with continuous learning and challenges. Please enjoy this special lot, brimming with his passion and experience.
