Finca los Naranjos
The Story of a Family Dedicated to Excellence in Specialty Coffee
Finca los naranjos
It is a family formed by Diofan Muñoz and Nidia Muñoz, who have been married for 23 years and the fruit of that love have two children, Felipe Muñoz and Anny Muñoz, at an early age Diofan was orphaned father, taking responsibility from a very young age on issues of the farm and home, having as main objective to get ahead making his mother proud of him as they were a very large family.
Diofan, after forming his home, seeing the need and having the desire to get ahead for and for his family decided to look for new ways to get ahead, one of them was to investigate in depth about the varietals, as he had heard that they have greater expansion in the market, for its taste and quality. This made him take the initiative 6 years ago to implement a new variety on the farm, a varietal with wide popularity nowadays, for its distinctive flavour and delicacy.
In the finca los naranjos there is a variety called geisha, at 1750 m m, which at the beginning was difficult to cultivate, as the requirements and specific care for the plant to have a good development and give the best coffee were not very clear. For this to have a quality of excellence has a process of collection in its optimum state of maturation, after collected a process of choosing the most ripe grains, manually, which will be those that pass to the next process, the fermentation that is 40 hours in cherry, in airtight bag after 40 must be descerezado and happens to be deposited in airtight baskets, After another 40 hours of fermentation it is washed with little water (Honey), so that it keeps its sweetness, then it is dried in raisins with a rigorous care, until it is in its desired humidity and it is packed again in airtight bags waiting to be marketed to the highest bidder.
