Monica come’s from a farming family. She grew up among coffee trees and as a child, she used to go pick coffee with her grandfather. Now she learns the most through her daily work with coffee from all the people around her and especially when she evaluates and tastes every lot of coffee they grow.
They harvest the coffee by hand and develop only ripe cherries. They then wash the coffee, removing impurities and bad beans and leave it to ferment in GrainPro bags for 36 hours. Then they wash, de-peel, and let the coffee ferment in bags for another 36 hours, this time with added water and the juice they collect while cleaning the coffee from the pulp. Afterwards, the coffee is thoroughly washed twice and allowed to drain completely. This is followed by 20 days of drying under a roof on the farm.
