Finca El Paraíso-92 is a family farm that produces different varieties such as Java, Bourbon Pink, Geisha, Pacamara, Caturra, Tabi, Castillo, Supremo and Colombia using highly innovative cultivation systems such as terraces, drip irrigation, shady and nutrition calculations in the laboratory all aimed at producing a unique coffee. Finca Paraiso-92 also has a microbiology laboratory, quality laboratory and processing plant. The processes applied to the different coffees start from a strict selection, sterilization and characterization of the cherry to later start with the first phase of controlled anaerobic fermentation, adding a specific microorganism for each process. Then, the coffee is pulped and subjected to a second fermentation phase. When the second phase ends, a bean sealing process is carried out through the impact of hot and cold water to improve the organoleptic conditions of the coffee.
