Colombia Sandra Milena Mora

Sandra Milena Mora owns and operates the Farm El Porvenir in Palestina in the Huila region. This 9-hectare farm has 6 hectares planted with around 19,000 coffee trees. The farm also grows corn, cassava, and bananas. Fly crop takes place from June to August with the main harvest happening from November through January. 

The coffee is harvested, selecting only ripe cherries. They are then taken to a water tub to clean the cherry and are added to Grainpro bags where the cherry is left to ferment for 36 hours. Afterward, the cherries are pulped and left in ceramic tanks with water to further ferment for 60 hours. The coffee is then washed and put in bags for 12 hours to be taken to the drying stretchers. The same fermentation process is completed for all batches.
