Finca Las Flores is managed by Augusto Urrego. Augusto inherited coffee growing from his father and grandparents before him. He’s been at the helm of the family farm for decades now with the help of his siblings, and has perfected his craft with every harvest. The farm consists of 1 hectare of land, with around 3,000 coffee trees in production of this Chiroso variety. Augusto processes his coffee by harvesting the ripest cherries and de-pulping them the same day. Parchment is then submerged in water in tiled tanks and fermented for 100 hours straight before being washed. The coffee is then placed in raised beds to dry for around 8-12 days, depending on the weather.—from The Coffee Quest
