About
About the farmer and farm Planadas sits in the southern part of Tolima department, on the slopes of Colombia's Central Cordillera, at 1500-2150 meters above sea level. A cool mountain climate, wide daily temperature swings, and fertile volcanic soils slow the ripening of the cherries, letting the beans build up more sugars and aromatic compounds. Processing: natural Small farms of under 4 hectares carry out the processing, and they've mastered the natural method despite frequent rain during harvest season. The harvested cherries aren't depulped, they're spread out to dry on raised beds or concrete patios. A quality control team checks the coffee four times a day to keep drying even in the region's high humidity. Once fully dry, the dry husk around the bean is removed mechanically during dry milling.
