Farm info

This lot comes from the Women Producers Group of Orígenes, a collective of women farmers formed in 2024 to strengthen participation, technical leadership, and economic visibility within the cooperative. The group is composed of women from multiple member communities who manage coffee production alongside household and community responsibilities.Though the region has long produced classic washed coffees, the group adopted a double fermentation/anaerobic washed process through hands-on training and peer learning facilitated by the cooperative. Building on traditional washed methods, the women experimented with sealed fermentation under controlled conditions, refining timing and temperature management over successive harvests. The result is a process that enhances sweetness and structure while maintaining clarity and origin of character. 

Working with the Women Producers Group has had a measurable impact across quality, income, and leadership. Participation in differentiated lots has increased women’s control over production decisions and premiums, while the shared learning model has accelerated the spread of best practices throughout the cooperative. These lots represent both technical advancement and a tangible step toward more equitable value distribution at origin.

This lot is processed as an anaerobic washed coffee using a double-fermentation protocol. Prior to pulping, the coffee is sealed in GrainPro bags for a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation, followed by pulping and a 48-hour wet fermentation in ceramic washing tanks. Drying is carried out on raised beds under close monitoring until stable moisture is achieved.
