José Gómez is the owner and manager of the farm’s 37.8 hectares of land. He grows mainly Bourbon, Caturra, Catuaí on the soils of Finca La Bendición, in addition to some smaller plots dedicated to producing Maracaturra, SL28 and Java. Native trees such as Shalum, Grevillea and Mora are used as shade for the coffee trees to help create a cool climate, ensuring an even ripening occurs.
There are six permanent staff that assist with tasks on the farm in addition to 40 seasonal workers that come during the harvest to pick cherries. This lot is comprised of Bourbon and Caturra and is processed utilizing the Washed method. After cleaning the cherries, and de-pulping, the coffee is dispersed on patios to dry in the open sun until the ideal moisture content is reached.
