Just like with his other coffees, Sebastian carries out a careful and measured process at each step. After its fermentation, it is taken to the drying phase where it is constantly stirred and its temperature controlled, as this is one of the steps that ensures this coffee maintains its attributes for much longer

El Placer
Sebastian's farm operates as a processing facility rather than a traditional coffee farm. In the 1980s, it was a large coffee estate in Quindío, but today, only half of its original production remains active. He oversees the purchase of cherries grown on the farm and sources select specialty varieties from Huila—currently, his Geisha and some Pink Bourbon come from there. Sebastian is responsible for processing and developing flavor profiles, ensuring the highest quality in every batch. Additionally, he has recently acquired a new farm, where he plans to focus on cultivating more exclusive varietals such as wush wush, Sl 28, etc. that are not easily grown in his region.
