Single Origin

Asorcafe was founded on July 11, 2003 in the town of Pedegral in Inza and currently has 290 members. The association was set up to help these producers become organised to sell their coffees as specialty, but also to provide a structure to further their education and to improve economic and social conditions for themselves, their families and their community.

These small producers work on plots of land between 1.8 and 2ha and farm coffee up to altitudes of 2100masl. The farms are planted with caturra, typica, bourbon, tabi, castillo and some pink bourbon. Traditionally the coffee is fully washed. Once harvested, the coffee is pulped and fermented for between 20 to 40 hours depending on the local environment. After this the coffee is washed and any immatures removed and then it is dried for between 8 and 15 days in parabolic driers.
