Lot 11: El Calagual - Pache - Natural
El Chicón farm, with 154 hectares, originally dedicated to cattle since 1899 owned by the Fabián Family, who over the years began to plant coffee. Bonifacio Fabián is the 4th generation of coffee growers, who inherited part of the farm called “El Calagual”, due to the abundance of native trees with this name.
By tradition in the Eastern region, coffee is sold to
intermediate buyers in ripe cherries. However, Darwin Fabián, son
of Bonifacio, decided to try some process (washed, natural and
honey) in previous years, as part of a thesis study in Collage. It
concluded with promising results and decided to process a small
comercial batch to experiment on the farm’s potential.
Currently on the farm the coffee is processed by natural
method in African beds and with shade regulation while the drying
lasts.
