About the farmer(s)

Sebastian Gomez - Castillo [washed] — Colombia

Sebastian had been living in Bogota for 8 years before returning home to take over the management of his father's coffee farm.
His father had been growing commodity coffee, but Sebastian convinced him to plant coffees that receive a better income, like Geisha, Pink Bourbon & this Castillo lot.
Sebastian & his wife now take care of all the farm & administration work.
After harvesting, the coffee cherries were floated & hand-sorted to remove defects. The cherries were de-pulped, fermented under water for 30 hours, washed & then sun-dried on raised beds at temperatures not exceeding 35℃.
