Association Los Naranjos — San Agustín, Huila, Colombia Faiber Bolaños is a member of the association of coffee producers called "Los Naranjos". His farm, Finca Esperanza, is a 3 hectare parcel planted with 15,000 Caturra trees. This specific offering was picked at optimum ripeness, depulped, fermented for 18 hours, washed 3 times, then moved to a parabolic dryer for a period of 15 days.
The association of Los Narnajos is a group of 52 farmers that have produced some of the highest quality coffee that we have seen come out of Huila. The sharing of techniques and practices between this group of producers is one of the most important factors in the progress of this association, and with an average farm size of 4 hectares, the success of the group is absolutely contingent upon the discipline of the individual.
