About the farmer and farm Caldono sits in Cauca department, in southwestern Colombia, a region with an officially protected designation of origin, Denominación de Origen Café de Cauca. Finca Patio Bonito is a family farm in the Pescador area, founded nearly 50 years ago by Carlos Arturo Trujillo. Today his daughter Paola leads its development, bringing her own experience as a coffee cupper and buyer. The farm covers about 11 hectares, 9 of which are planted with coffee, and stands out for its unusually wide genetic diversity, 13 varieties, including Gesha, Pink Bourbon, and Sidra. The farm sits at the region's average altitude of around 1700 meters, where volcanic soils and a mountain climate support high-quality arabica. Processing: washed (two-phase anaerobic fermentation) After selective hand-picking, the cherries are sorted and floated to build a uniform batch before fermentation. The first phase is 48 hours of anaerobic fermentation for whole cherries. They're then depulped, leaving the mucilage on for a second 24-hour fermentation phase. Once both phases are complete, the beans are thoroughly washed with clean water and moved to raised drying beds. Drying takes about 7 days until reaching 9.5-11% moisture, with constant monitoring to prevent uneven drying.
