Irma Tocto owns a 10-hectare farm called Los Planes, a farm of around 6,000 coffee trees.
This coffee was the number 1 rated lot in the locally hosted Bracaromos auction, held between two fair trade organic cooperatives in an effort to highlight the potential return and benefit of high-quality microlots, while showcasing the producers of the cooperatives.
For a long time, most of Ecuador’s coffee production was for commodity-grade export or the production of freeze-dried coffee–it’s only recently that the potential of the country’s coffee production has been really explored.
A northern border with Colombia and a southern with Peru means Ecuador shares an ideal climate and geography for high-quality coffee production. The country’s elevation ranges from sea level all the way up to over 2,000 meters, which represents a great level of variance in both terrain and climate.
The lot was picked ripe and depulped the same day, before being fermented underwater for 17 hours and then set to dry on raised beds for 15 days.
