The farm sits within lush, forested hills at 1,550 meters above sea level. The coffee is Catuai Rojo variety processed using anaerobic natural fermentation. Ripe cherries are sorted, washed, and fermented in sealed 450L tanks for up to 72 hours in an anaerobic environment at approximately 15 degrees Celsius.
