Description

La Cabana is a single estate located in El Agrado municipality in Huila  department at the south-western part of Colombia between Central and East Andes mountain rages. The farm is part of Perez’s family business named Alma del Huila in the head of Mr. Gilberto Perez. It has 20 hectares of which 14 hectares are coffee crops and the other 6 are part of a forest where many springs are born and that provide water for the people of El Agrado.

 

They have approximately 100.000 coffee trees. Coffee is cultivated and hand picked in this farm but the cherries are then taken to a wet milling central located in Garzon (another municipality of Huila department) half an hour away from El Agrado.

 

For this lot, the pickers select the cherries at the optimum ripening point by standardizing the color. These cherries are hand sorted again, before being immersed in water. After removing the floating cherries, the dense cherries undergo drying. There is no active fermentation phase, but a natural fermentation takes place during the drying of the cherries. Anaerobic fermentation takes place for 200 hours in airtight plastic containers, ensuring an homogeneous fermentation process. The coffee is the dried in the sun of parabolic beds or patios for approximately three weeks.
