African trestle solarization

African style elevated shed, although the cost is higher, but let coffee beans can keep ventilation space, air flow is more adequate. Therefore, as long as it is fixed, the quality of fermentation is much more stable than in the past.

Also, the elevated canopy means that coffee beans are not affected by dust, animal droppings, and moisture on the ground. Exquisite sun treatment, in fact, is to consume a lot of manpower.

From picking, turning, shifting beans up and down, focusing on drying speed to picking out uneven beans, none of them requires human effort. There are also a lot of details and techniques that need attention.

Claudia Manor Introduction

Claudia Estate is owned by a coffee producer who has established three coffee estates to produce coffee. These three estates are located in Colombia. This coffee producer attaches great importance to the environment and environmental protection. They founded an environmental protection organization called Coamar, which is committed to educating local farmers to continuously cultivate and take care of the natural resources of the region. In addition to protecting the environment, coffee beans can also have a better growing environment and improve the quality of life of the people in the region.

Villa Claudia is located in San Agustin, south of Huila province. Alfredo Claros, a 50-year-old second-generation coffee farmer, bought the land with his wife Herlinda Rodriguez 10 years ago and started his own coffee plantation.

With an altitude of 1800 meters and an area of about 6 hectares, the estate is a typical small coffee farmer with an annual production of 12,000 kg and mainly cultivated with Caturra.

Claudia Estate has been working with Colors of Nature since its inception to produce specialty coffee.

After harvesting, coffee cherries are first allowed to stand for 24 hours, followed by Shaza type sun drying to reduce sunlight heat, thereby extending the drying time by more than twice, and after 30 days, the moisture content is reduced to the ideal ratio.
