Colombia El Paraiso

Highlights

“Jose Ignacio Gomez's farm is located in Vereda el Naranjal near the town of Buescao in the Nariño department. His Caturra and Colombia varieties grow at 1900 meters above sea level. Jose grew up in a coffee producing family and has developed a good palate and an eye for good coffee. He grows coffee on six and a half hectares alongside oranges, lemons, and avocados. During the harvest, he, his family and team of trained harvesters hand pick the ripe red cherry and process the harvest in their own micro wet mill on the farm. Several years ago, Jose Ignacio built a custom solar dryer with three tiers of raised drying beds arranged under a plastic roof, oriented to use crosswinds for temperature control.”
