The Project

Wilder Lazo’s family in San Adolfo (Huila) is dedicated to producing specialty coffee. After a devastating fire, they rebuilt their farm through hard work and determination. The entire family is involved in coffee production, from gardening to processing and commercialization. Wilder is a well of knowledge when it comes to genetics and processes, he focuses on enhancing the uniqu characteristics of each coffee varietal through specialized fermentation and post-harvest methods.

This knowledge comes from Wilder’s past career in bovine genetics, where he dedicated many years travelling across America to study and improve cattle breeds.

Recently, he joined the El Placer Farms Project to connect more closely with roasters and coffee drinkers.

 

The Coffee

1. When cherries arrive at the farm’s facilities, they are selected through flotation.

2. The Cherries are then submerged inside plastic tanks with the mucilage of other Gesha and SL28 cherries.

3. The coffee stays here for 7 days without allowing the pH to go below 5.

4. The cherries are then rinsed and laid on patios for a drying period of approx. 25 days.

5. After drying is finished, coffee is stored for stabilisation before threshing and exporting.
