    About the farmer(s)

    Luz Helena Salazar Castillo anaerobic washed — Colombia

    Luz grew up in the area where she has her 8 hectare farm Maracay. Luz has been coffee farming for 20 years, initially with the help of her husband Jairo Arcila, she quickly learned the ropes & now produces top-notch coffee herself.

    This lot was processed using the anaerobic washed method. At harvest, coffee cherries are selectively hand-picked & then fermented in an anaerobic [oxygen-free] environment for 40 hours., de-pulped & then dried on raised beds for 17 days in a parabolic dryer.
