This coffee is grown and processed by the ASOCANAFI co-op in the southern part of the state of Tolima, east of the city of Cali. The cherries are depulped with a traditional depulper and zaranda (a mesh screen used to separate low-quality beans). The beans are fermented and dried in parabolic dryers and casas elba (a sun dryer with a retractable roof, normally built on top of the producer's house or on a separate lot) for eight to ten days. The ASOCANAFI co-op consists mostly of indigenous families of the native Nasa We'sx group. Varietals are Caturra, Castillo, and Typica.
