The Producer

The El Placer Farms Project began with Sebastián Ramírez, who is the fourth generation of coffee producers in his family.

His experience managing his family’s farm and working with coffee for more than fourteen years allowed him to develop this project, which began with his family farm and now includes farms belonging to small coffee producers in Quindío and Huila.

The Coffee

The names of our partner farms are as follows: El

Placer, Andalucía, La Sofía, La Carito, and La Paz.

“Regional coffee” is coffee that is grown in a specific geographical region and has unique characteristics of flavor, aroma, and body due to the climatic conditions, soil, and altitude in which it is grown.

Each coffee-producing region has its own coffee varieties, cultivation processes, and processing techniques that affect the flavor and quality of the coffee. For this reason, regional coffee is highly valued by coffee lovers for its distinctive and unique flavors and aromas.

The process

It consists of a double fermentation

The coffee cherries are pulped and placed in the fermentation tank with the mucilage for their fermentation period with CO2 injection to control the fermentation environment. The number of hours depends on the cup profile we are looking for.

In this fermentation, we use the leachate (must) obtained from the

degradation of the coffee cherries themselves.

The dried cherries are ground and sorted manually into jute bags to stabilize them for a week. The coffee is then transferred to GrainPro bags.
