Liliana Gembuel Paja and her husband manage the beautiful farm El Ranchito located in the high reaches of the Jambalo district in Cauca. Their farm is situated at 2100 masl which presents several challanges including accessibility and lower proiduction yields but comes with the benefit of having an even greater quality potential. This lot was featured in a the annual Colombian Cupping compeition 'Best Cup Colombia' which is organsied by our import partners Cafe Imports & export partners Banexport. This compeition highlights the top lots by producers within Colombia's many microregions. Liliana was a Top 15 Finalist with this stunning washed coffee.
 
Liliana's farm, El Ranchito, is 2 hectares large. Over 20 people from the village are employed during harvest season. The cherry is held in a plastic tank overnight after harvest, and then depulped the following morning, and fermented in polyethelyne tanks. The coffee is then washed, sorted again, and dried for 20 days in a parabolic dryer.
