Description

Wilson Jesus Ortega Muñoz runs a 2-hectare farm called Finca Los Naranjos in the San Agustin area of Huila. Alongside around 2000 coffee trees, he also grows corn, bananas, and arracacha. Fly crop runs from June through August with the main harvest taking place from November through January. He produces around 1500 kgs of coffee per year.

When harvesting, the cherry is picked and left for 12 hours before depulping. Then it is put in tanks for 50 hours to ferment. From there the coffee is washed and taken to the drying room where it dries for around 20 days to reach the desired moisture content.

In recent harvests, he has faced challenges from changes in the climate and the high costs of fertilizer and labor.

 

The cup has jammy plum, burnt sugar, toffee, and fresh citrus flavors with sugary sweetness and winey acidity.
