About
We have been buying coffee from Finca La Granja for several years now and are always impressed by its juicy red plum flavours and jammy body. Ezequiel Macario Castillo Erazo has made a lot of improvements to the farm and processing facilities over the last few years and the results are gratifying for him. In the last year Ezequiel has built a new micro-beneficio and installed a new pulper and fermentation tank. This has reduced the bottleneck that used to cause problems in the processing. These kinds of things can make a tangible difference, not only in the quality of the coffee, but also easing the stress on infrastructure and everyone working the harvest. This year Ezequiel plans to build a new patio to help the drying of the coffee, as the reduction in the bottleneck upstream in the process has meant more drying space is needed downstream! The next big project will be a collaboration with his neighbours Roberto Melo (Finca Galeras) and Juan Carlos Pascuaza (Finca Alto Grande). Together they plan to improve the access road to their farms. This will be a major project and will help them get supplies to the farms, and the coffee out after the harvest.
