The Little Details
This coffee comes from 40 smallholder producers in Agua Blanca town, Inza Cauca region in Colombia. It's grown from 1500 - 1800 meters above sea level. It's drawn from Caturra and Colombia varietal beans.
About the Process
This producers have had cultivated microorganisms to produce organic fertilisers, the cultivation of the Mountain microorganism (MM) where native MM are used. They are found in the forest, on the upper part of rich soil. They are like a white substance and can be found in decomposing tree leaves. The MM are then mixed with rice flour and molasses, they are left to ferment for a month ( until the color of the mix is dark brown which is producer by fermentation stress).
The mix above is them added to the tanks with specific quantities of MM, a specific mineral to cultivate ( being magnesium the one is used the most and coffer the least), molasses and water.
The new mix is left to ferment for further 1 month. The MM is a community of microorganisms, yeast and fungus and the idea is that they will “predigest” the minerals and transform them into something the plants can absorb.
