Fermentation and drying information:
The fermentation takes place in concrete tanks and lasts between 24 and 36 hours at an average temperature of 24-26 ° C.
The coffee is pulped in Penagos pulping machines and is deposited in fermentation tanks with a layer of thickness no more than 50 cm. To avoid variations in the fermentation process, the coffee in the tanks is covered with banana leaves of the same farm, in order to maintain a constant temperature and accelerate the fermentation process in the tanks. The fermentation process ends when we do a test with a broomstick and introduce it into the layer of coffee in the tanks. If the stick makes a hole that is not quickly filled in by the wet coffee, this is proof enough that it is ready to be washed in the runway channel. The drying is done in solar dryers, with a duration of between 14 and 22 days at an average temperature of 26 ° C.

18/19 Harvest Report
Overall quality was very good and production was average. With lower prices continuing on for a few years now, regionally there is less fertilization and less farm upkeep like pruning, shade management, and leaf rust control.
in the Grower's words
The challenges for Finca la Colocha are the following:
• Innovate different fermentation and beneficiation processes, using appropriate tools and equipment to handle scientific and statistical data at each stage of my coffee process.
• Build more solar dryers with controlled temperatures, thus prolonging the drying and therefore the duration of my coffee in the cellar.
• I want to keep my clients well informed about the processes I carry out in my coffee.
• I believe that our processes are carried out even with traditional and traditional technology, our goal is to innovate using appropriate equipment and tools to better document our processes in coffee, but we are already working on that.
