About
The farm Jardines del Eden is located at the highest elevation in the Pijao region, Quindio. Felipe saw an opportunity in this location and decided to build a farm from scratch in 2016. This farm offers ideal climate condition for growing the high quality coffee, with high altitude of 1,700-2,100, rich volcanic soil, annual rainfall of 2,000-2,200mm and temperature between 5-28C.
This lot was exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation of 48 hours at 23 degrees celsius. During this fermentation period, strawberry and wine yeast were added to the anaerobic environment. Later the coffee was placed on raised beds below 35 degrees celsius until ideal moisture content was achieved.
