The land of small farmer producer Rodelfo Betancourt Rios is located in the village of Los Quingos in Cauca Province, Caldono Autonomous region, with a total agricultural land area of 12 hectares, of which about 10 hectares are used for growing coffee and there are about 1.5 hectares of forest reserves. In addition to the unique geographical environment: volcanic soil, 1720 meters high altitude, 2200mm's annual rainfall, and a wide range of pristine forest, Rodelfo is also very careful in growing coffee. He started planting coffee trees 31 years ago and participated in various coffee production training courses. The process from harvest to raw bean treatment is not careless at all. In the coffee fruit ripening stage, coffee cherries are harvested every 15 days, peeled immediately on the day of picking, and washed and fermented for 16-18 hours. The washed raw beans are dried in a ventilated scaffolding for 8-10 days and then stored for 60 days before export. This year, Rodelfo also began to analyze and find the best ripening point for coffee, that is, the right Degrees Brix, and bought a brand new, well-ventilated dryer.
