Cauca Best Cup 2015 Andrés Astaiza's farm La Margarita is 4 hectares, with 2 hectares planted in coffee. He has 6000 Castillo coffee trees, and harvests the cherry as it turns purple. Harvest Season is April to June, and Andrés picks the coffee every 20 days. The coffee is pulped with a traditional pulper on the same day as picking, it is fermented dry for 12 hours, and washed 3 times. The coffee is then dryed in parabolic dryers for 12 days, where it is then placed in coffee sacks and stored for 20 days before going to dry mill.
Andrés Asaiza started producing coffee in the year 2000 with his wife Astrid.
