About the Coffee Fermentation:
- The Potosi farm spans 11 hectares and is located in the Caicedonia municipality. It sits at an altitude of 1400-1860 MASL. Skilled pickers carefully select the Sidra cherries, which are then placed into tanks that are not fully sealed, allowing the air to escape.
- The cherries undergo fermentation in the tanks for 48 hours, intensifying the flavors in the cup. The temperature is controlled every 6 hours to ensure it stays below 30 degrees Celsius. After fermentation, the cherries are mechanically dried for 48 hours to remove the moisture, followed by an additional 8 days of sun drying on patios.
