The Coffee:

La Hammonia comprises 12 distinct lots, with each lot meticulously separated by varietal and unique in its elevation, ranging from 1200 to 1400 meters above sea level (MASL). These shade-grown lots benefit from organic fertilizer produced on the farm, exemplifying La Hammonia's status as a certified organic farm. The cherries are handpicked and promptly transported to the on-site wet mill, where they undergo processing using pure mountain water. Following a 12-hour fermentation in the mucilage and a second wash, the coffee is carefully transferred to covered drying beds. Each lot is harvested individually, meticulously cupped, and then expertly blended, ensuring traceability of lot volumes and consistent cup profiles from season to season. Once the beans have reached optimal dryness, they are transported to the farm's dry mill for further processing and packaging. To foster sustainability, the farm maintains a nursery for new tree planting, with ongoing efforts to replant 50 hectares at a time, as some of the existing trees are over 65 years old. Additionally, La Hammonia explores the cultivation of a new variety known as Marsellaza, an improved Catimor variety, adding to their spirit of innovation and discovery.
