Emma Peña Pajoy owns Finca La Estrella, a 7-hectare farm in Pedregal, Inzá. She grows 4,000 trees on her land, in a mix of Caturra and Castillo varieties. After picking them ripe and depulping the cherries, she allows the coffee to ferment for 20 hours before washing. She dries the coffee for about 10 days in the sun.
This lot was an entrant in the first Inzá Cup competition hosted by Banexport, also known as Concurso de Cafes de Alta Calidad: Inzá-Cauca. Finca La Esrella took eighth place in the contest.
