What is so special about this coffee?

The careful processing by Santiago Quiroga at his Florencia farm in Quindio, makes this coffee truly special. The coffee undergoes natural anaerobic fermentation and is cultivated using sustainable practices. Ripe cherries are hand-picked and fermented for four days, resulting in tropical fruit flavors, complemented by sweet mango and subtle notes of wine.

Post-fermentation, the coffee is dried slowly over 30 to 40 days on solar beds, ensuring an even drying phase that preserves its sweetness and complex profile. This commitment to eco-friendly methods, including completely sun drying and the avoidance of herbicides, allows Alma Silvestre to stand out. No wonder this coffee is among the 55 best coffees of this year's Colombia Land of Diversity.
