About the farmers: “John Jairo Rojas was given Finca El Camilo by his father in ’82 when he was 15. With just 500 trees and the knowledge of coffee farming that his father passed to him, He and his wife, Sonia Granados, have grown the farm to over 7,000 trees. During harvest, John depulps each day’s pickings and lets the coffee ferment between 12 and 20 hours, depending on weather conditions. After fermentation, John washes the coffee in a channel until it is completely clean of mucilage. No pesticides or insecticides are used on Finca El Camilo.”
