Manuel comes from a big family of coffee growers and coffee lovers. The whole family has been dedicated to coffee cultivation for three generations now and successfully continues to develop and improve their coffee quality year after year.
In 2010, Manuel purchased a 10 hectare piece of land in the El Ocotillo village in Santa Barbara region, which is very well known for producing high quality coffee. With the help of his cousins, Manuel was able to plant over 7 hectares of his land with coffee.
This coffee was picked at its best and carefully de-pulped and dry fermented for 36 hours. It was dried in the parabolic solar dryer for around 24 days and raked regularly to achieve even drying.
