Wholebean coffee
Pineapple, papaya, strawberry, lime
Coffee cherries are harvested at their ripest point, selected and naturally processed. They are then driven to Santa Lucila in ventilated boxes, for dry milling, sorting and exporting. During the season, Silvio sometimes makes around two round trips from his estate, to the Drymill. This is a long process, since not so many boxes fit on the truck and the dirt road is bumpy and complicated to drive.
Being the fourth generation of coffee growers in the family has made Ibis an extremely knowledgeable coffee producer and Q-grader. Besides managing his estate in Nueva Segovia, Ibis works full-time in Santa Lucila’s laboratory. Over the years, he’s gained the experience and steadiness to diversify this way.
