What’s all the fuss about & main coffee farm:
Nestled in the serene municipality of Tolima, Colombia, you'll find a piece of paradise called La Esperanza - "The Hope". This is the realm of Jhon Mendez. a dedicated coffee grower who has spent his entire life nurturing the art passed down through his family.
At the age of 42, Jhon's daily life is intricately woven into the fabric of his 7-hectare farm, six hectares of which are dedicated to his pride and joy - coffee. Perched at an elevation ranging from 1,960 to 2,000 meters, La Esperanza farm creates an ideal environment for growing premium coffee varieties.
His coffee garden is a vibrant mix of Pink Bourbon, Caturra, Catimore, and Castillo varieties. It's a lush tableau of 21,000 coffee trees, each carefully nurtured by Jhon and his team. The Pink Bourbon trees, about 2,000 of them, are of particular note, with their 38-month-old trees radiating health and vitality.
Jhon's approach to processing coffee is a meticulous labour of love. His team is encouraged to pick only the ripest beans, an effort they're compensated for with premium wages. This rigorous selection process results in cherry-picking every 8 days.
The picked cherries then undergo a double fermentation process. The first phase is a 24-hour fermentation in cherry, followed by depulping and a second 24-hour fermentation. This second phase takes place in a tiled tank, ensuring the optimal conditions for fermenting the coffee.
After fermentation, the coffee is thoroughly washed twice before being moved to the drying station. Here, the coffee is dried under a parabolic system, ensuring a slow and steady drying process that maintains the quality and flavour of the beans.
The lands of La Esperanza are not just home to coffee. Jhon diversifies his farm with other crops, including beans, plantain, and yuca. This diversification helps maintain the health of his soil while providing additional sources of income.
Jhon isn't just a coffee grower; he is a man who has devoted his life to the traditions and knowledge of coffee cultivation. His story is a testament to the dedication, perseverance, and passion that goes into every cup of coffee we enjoy each day. His life, like his farm, truly embodies "La Esperanza" - the hope.
