This year in April Sebastian was on site in Colombia. "What a coffee," he thought to himself when he cupped it for the first time on Daniel Correal's farm in Colombia.

On his farm, 80 hectares of coffee and platano (plantains) are grown. Coffee doesn't just need the shade of this tall plant to produce healthy and tasty cherries. At the same time, cultivation in permaculture gardens protects the harvest from vermin and at the same time is another source of income for the farm.

In order to increase the quality of his harvest, Daniel uses various processes to prepare his coffees, such as: B. Naturals, Honey or Semi-Washed. He also grows different varieties for diversity, such as Castillo, Bourbon Amarillo, Geisha and Pacamara.

Natural processing is the most original and oldest method of processing coffee after harvest. Especially in countries with low natural water resources, such as B. Ethiopia, it is therefore often used. Because compared to washed processing, significantly less water is used to wash the cherries. But in Colombia, one of the countries with the largest water reserves in the world, it is rainy season during the harvest. At the same time, this also results in high humidity, which makes natural processing almost impossible. For this reason, in Colombia we mainly find washed, prepared coffees.
