Sebastián , along with his team of pickers, harvests only the ripest cherries. Then, the cherries are placed in the sorting area at La Divisa farm, where the sorting team hand-sorts and floats them to remove any low-density, underripe, or defective cherries.

Once sorted, the coffee cherries are packaged in grain pro bags and transported to Cofinet’s processing center, La Pradera. 

Afterwards, the cherries undergo a 30-hour underwater fermentation a critical step that enhances the coffee’s flavor profile. We do this controlled fermentation process as it allows the sugars, organic acids, and other compounds within the cherries to break down gradually, stimulating the development of a delicate yet interesting profile.
