Jose Alirio Lopez Hoyos runs Finca Buena Vista in the San Agustin area of Huila. The 2-hectare farm is home to about 4000 coffee trees. Fly crop takes place from June to August with the main harvest running from November through January.
This batch is the result of three days' harvest. Cherries are depulped the same day they're picked and the batch from Monday is mixed with the ones from Tuesday and Wednesday. The depulped coffee is left in the tank for 50 hours to ferment. From there, it is washed and left for 12 hours so that the water can drain. Finally, it is moved to African beds in the drying room where it dries for around 20 days until the desired moisture content is reached.
