Life is Like
La Providencia has been in the Palacios family since the 1950s, and in that time it has been passed down through three generations. Today it is owned and managed by Max Ariel Palacios Villatoro, who has been working on the farm since 1975.
At the end of the day, each of the workers delivers their carefully selected coffees to the beautifully maintained wet mill, which is located at the heart of the farm.
After pulping, the coffee is fermented for 30–32 hours and put through a washer to remove any remaining mucilage. It is then graded by weight in long channels and carefully dried — first on the farm’s pristine patios for at least eight hours and then in Guardiola driers for 24–26 hours. Throughout the process, Max also ensures that all organic by-products are recycled and reused and that all water is cleaned and treated to ensure the prestine waterways remain clean and unpolluted.
This cup of excellence 2002 coffee is delicious, with a whole lot of flavour popping through great structure and a creamy body.
