Description

PROCESS: ANAEROBIC NATURAL REGION: SANTA ROSA VARIETAL: CATURRA TASTE: BUTTERSCOTCH, APRICOT, TANGY About: Coffee production here is closely tied to seasonal rhythms, with harvest periods bringing together local communities for picking and processing. Many farms rely on a combination of family labour and experienced pickers who move between regions following the harvest. This seasonal flow of knowledge and labour plays an important role in maintaining quality across different farms and regions. Infrastructure on farms like El Durazno can vary, but there is often a strong emphasis on self-sufficiency. From water management systems for processing to on-site drying areas, producers work with the resources available to them, adapting techniques to suit their specific conditions.
