Ernesto's dream has always been to own a farm and produce excellent coffee; it's more than safe to say he's done it. At Finca El Bambu, Ernesto harvests only fully ripe cherries, and depulps them on the same day as harvest. If washed, the coffee is fermented for 14 hours in-tank before being dried. If honey processed, the coffee goes directly to the raised beds after depulping, for an average of 13–22 days.
