Who Is Behind This Amazing Coffee?

 

Rubert Portilla owns Finca Villaverde which is a 6 hectare farm planted entirely with coffee. Rubert has approximately 12,000 trees. They utilize a wet fermentation here for 18-24 hours and then dry on raised African beds for 21-30 days. 

Rubert spoke to us about climate change and erratic weather being particularly challenging for them along with the common statement about increased fertilizer costs. Finca Villaverde produces roughly 6000kgs of coffee annually.

Coffee Processing

 

Washed coffee is the norm in Ecuador, where most of the lots are either depulped, fermented, and washed or mechanically washed using a demucilaging machine. Coffees are typically dried on patios or on raised beds, often under a cover of plastic or mesh.

Region

 

Pichincha, situated in the northern highlands of the Andean Plateau, is known for its cool weather, two volcanoes, and rose farms. Although the area is relatively lower in elevation, the average temperature is 65° and mist often covers the land in the afternoons, known as cloud forests. This climate provides coffee with comfortability during the day, while the cool nights slightly stress the coffee into producing more sugars per cherry.
