      Luis Aníbal Calderón - Yirga Cheffe [natural] — Colombia

      Luis Aníbal is a second generation coffee grower. His family have been growing coffee for over 60 years. Luis has been growing coffee for over 40 years. At nine years-old, Luis' father gave him a small plot of land to plant his own coffee.
      Things haven't always been great for Luis. In 2011 Luis was very close to losing his farm to the bank. He went to ask for help at a local Specialty Coffee Association. They offered to pay him 15% more than the going rate for coffee.
      This extra income allowed him to plant 5000 Geisha plants. After waiting an arduous 3 years to bear fruit, Luis was finally starting to get rewarded for his hard work. In 2015 Luis decided to convert his whole farm to exotic coffee cultivars.
      Coffee is hand-picked, selecting only perfectly ripe cherries. After harvesting, the coffee was processed using the washed fermentation method. The cherries were wet fermented for 30 hours, de-pulped, washed & then spread out to dry on raised beds until the moisture content dropped to 11%.
