Working alongside his uncles and backed by training in cupping, production, and sales, he now produces high-standard specialty coffees, including Gesha, Bourbon, Pacamara, and Sidra. Bourbon Pasiflora is crafted through selective handpicking of ripe cherries, careful cleaning, and a 24-hour whole-cherry pre-fermentation. The cherries are then depulped and semi-washed, followed by a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks with fresh passion fruit, which adds layered tropical complexity. The coffee is dried on raised beds for 15 days, then stabilized for 15 days in a dark room to achieve ideal moisture, integrate flavors, and ensure consistency and shelf life.
