06 • Selective Hand-Picking
Harvest
Only cherries at their exact optimal ripeness are hand-picked one by one.
100% Hand-Picked
Biological Transformation & Agronomy
On the steep slopes of Tolima, experienced pickers move tree by tree along the ridges. Each coffee cherry is gently detached by hand, ensuring that no unripe, damaged, or overripe beans enter the basket. This meticulous selective picking is the foundational filter for world-class specialty coffee.
