Andres inherited both the land at El Chocho and his knowledge of coffee from his father. Through the years, he has gradually made some updates at the farm, predominantly to the wet mill. As he improves his facilities, he is simultaneously working to increase his production by planting more trees. Originally, El Chocho consisted of 4,000 Castillo and Colombia trees and now he has around 6,000 trees, with plans to plant more.
Andres’ coffee has become one of our favorites year after year. We believe the unique way he processes his coffee makes it stand out on the cupping table. Even though his coffee is washed, we find complex notes that normally occur with other processing methods, like honey or even natural process.
