Colombia La Estrella Geisha Natural

Highlights

“Carlos Estrella takes very attentive care of Finca La Estrella, the farm belonging to his mother Aura Eliza Nupan, in the town of Buenos Aires in the municipality of La Union, Nariño. Due to the farm's humid climate, cherries dry for up to two months in a parabolic dryer where they are exposed to the sun during the day and moved constantly to avoid mold formation and to dry the coffee evenly. In the dryer, the cherries are covered overnight to avoid the early morning dew and maintain an even moisture content. Carlos constantly observes climate conditions, as they tend to vary drastically. Dried cherries from Finca La Estrella's are stored in a dry warehouse in jute bags for the first ten days and then rested until they are dry milled and placed into GrainPro. Both the coffee trees and the fruit they produce are treated with special care at the farm.”
