El Encanto

In addition to cultivating coffee of the Colombia variety, the farm also grows plantains and cassava, showcasing the agricultural diversity of the land.
Processing:
-
The post-harvest process begins 24 hours after the cherries are picked, during which the cherries are depulped and then washed. Afterwards, the coffee is sun-dried, a traditional method that helps develop the characteristic flavours of the Colombia variety.
Care & Commitment: Leonor has participated in several courses aimed at training farmers in the region, demonstrating her commitment not only to her own farm but also to the wider agricultural community. This focus on education and continuous learning has contributed to the success and sustainability of the farm over the years.
Finca El Encanto is an example of how the combination of experience, traditional techniques, and a focus on training can produce high-quality coffee while maintaining a diversified and sustainable agricultural operation.
