The Project

“El Placer” Farms Project was founded by Sebastián Ramírez, a 4th-generation coffee producer, who has over fourteen years of experience working on his family's farm.

This project now includes small coffee farms in Quindio and Huila, with partner farms named El Placer, Andalucía, La Sofia, La Carito, and La Paz. Ranging from 1200 to 2100 meters above sea level.

Their Processing Center, "El Placer Farms Hacienda Córcega Beneficio Center," is equipped with the latest technology and situated in Quimbaya.

The project also runs a Generational Relief initiative, which aims to inspire and educate young people to pursue careers in coffee production, shaping the future of the industry.

 

The Coffee

1. The cherries are placed in sealed tanks where they go through a carbonic maceration for 48 hours.

2. The cherries are pulped and slightly washed, leaving some mucilage on the parchment.

3. The parchment coffee is then laid on the ground inside ‘eldas’ where they dry under the sun and get covered at night.

4. The drying process is controlled so the coffee dries slowly until it reaches 9 to 11% humidity.
