Pedro inherited his family’s farm when he was just 14 years old, and at 18 he started growing coffee, alongside tomatoes and citrus fruit, on the farm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePedro Flores has been part of the Sol de la Mañana program since its establishment in 2014. As part of the initiative, Pedro follows a very structured series of courses focused on improving both quality and, critically, yield quantity at his farm. The curriculum hones in on one aspect of farming at a time and includes information on building and maintaining a coffee nursery, when to prune and use fertiliser, how to avoid and treat leaf rust, and how to selectively pick coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe results of the Sol de la Mañana program have been profound, with improved quality and quantities for all participating producers, including Pedro. He is now achieving yields of 30 bags per hectare; a significant achievement! Prior to participating in the program, his yields had fallen to less than six bags per hectare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__group\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"#\" class=\"accordion__label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Processing \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__text\"\u003eThis particular lot from Pedro Flores was carefully hand-picked and processed on the same day at the Buena Vista washing station. This meticulously run mill is owned by Agricafe, who painstakingly process each of the exceptional specialty lots they receive separately to allow for full traceability back to the individual farmer or settlement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTCherries for this lot were delivered to Agricafe’s state of the art mill Buena Vista in the evening. After being inspected and weighed, the coffee cherry was carefully sorted by weight using water and disinfected, in a large capacity machine the Rodríguez family have dubbed ‘La Maravilla,’ which translates to ‘the wonder’ due to its efficiency. Following this, the coffee was transported to the mill’s water-efficient Penagos mechanical pulper using a conveyor belt. Not only do these pieces of equipment use significantly less resources than in previous years, but they both recirculate water several times before it is treated and returned to the local waterways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was then fermented in a sealed stainless steel tank for 35 hours. The team at Buena Vista made sure the lid remained shut for the full period of fermentation, to ensure no oxygen touched the cherries and that the punch-like, boozy aroma remained trapped inside. The wet parchment was then washed with fresh, clean water and carefully machine-dried for 105 hours using a ‘guardiola,’ a horizontal, rotating drum that gets rid of moisture by creating a warm, consistent flow of air around the coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce the coffee was dry, it was transported to La Paz where it was rested before being milled at Agricafe’s dry mill, La Luna. At this state-of-the-art mill, the coffee was first hulled and sorted using machinery, and then by a team of workers who meticulously sorted the coffee again (this time by hand) under UV and natural light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cata Coffee","offers":[{"title":"200g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":48354825502890,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Espresso","offer_id":48354825535658,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Stovetop","offer_id":48354825568426,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Aeropress","offer_id":48354825601194,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Pour Over -
