A note from our supplier, Nordic Approach:
This washed lot is produced in the region of Amazonas by Neyber Becerra Fernández, who has grown up in a family dedicated to producing high-quality coffee.
The varieties of this coffee are Caturra and Bourbon. Flowering takes place from October to January, with harvesting occurring between July and November. The cherries contributing to this lot were harvested at elevations ranging from 1900 to 2000 masl. Processed as a washed coffee, the cherries are pulped and fermented for 10 hours. The coffee undergoes drying in a solar tent at 18°C for approximately 30 days.
Neyber is a member of NORCAFÉ. NORCAFÉ, is a cooperative that was born as a group of young university students, children of small producers with the same objective: to work together to promote continuous improvement of quality and opportunities. It was formalized in 2015 with the participation of 100 families. Currently, there are more than 470 families that are part of this project.
NORCAFE has more than 400 producers of different origins and in particular with a large number of young families who have inherited their passion for coffee from their parents and who have decided to cultivate traditional varieties such as caturra, typica, bourbon, paches, catuí, and apply selective harvesting methods, overflowing, pulping that in many cases is pulped the same day of harvest or some methods of fermentation in cherry and pulped the next day, the average fermentation has increased especially in the areas with higher altitude and drying slow allows to obtain exceptional coffees.
Their mission not only helps with market access, but we also focus our actions on improving pre-harvest processes such as weeding, selective pruning, pest and disease control, fertilizers, planting of living barriers and water care, with practices friendly to the environment. The commitment and responsibility is social, economic and environmental, so we are complying with the standards established by Fair Trade and other organic and sustainable regulations.
