From our importer:

Daniel Mauricio Bolaños owns and runs the farms El Pacer and La Esperanza both a part of the Asociacion los Naranjos in San Agustin. These farms sit at altitudes of 1700 masl and 1650 masl respectively. Both are 5-hectare farms with 2,000 to 11,000 coffee trees and other produce grown on-site. Fly crop runs June through August with the main harvest being November through January. 

For Daniel's fermentation process, the cherries are collected and taken to a tank with water to remove the impurities. Then the cherries are removed and added to an open plastic container for 48 hours, pulped, and added to the plastic container again for 72 hours with a little water. The coffee is then washed and moved to dry either on African raised beds or on Parabolic drying beds for around 20-25 days.
