ETHICALLY SOURCED FROM COLOMBIA
From a young age, Yivier and his siblings were entrusted by their father, Don Orlando, with small plots of land to cultivate their first coffee trees. At just 15, Yivier planted his initial 1,000 San Bernardo variety trees—a hands-on lesson in patience, plant care, and the rhythms of the land that would shape his life's work. That early responsibility sparked a deep passion, teaching him the value of disciplined crop management and forward-thinking stewardship.
Today, on his farm La Falda at 1950–2000 masl, Yivier continues to expand and innovate, honoring the multi-generational family legacy while embracing new techniques to boost both yield and cup quality. Cherries are selectively harvested every three weeks, then carefully processed through a refined washed method: 24 hours of whole-cherry fermentation, pulping, and a second 36-hour dry fermentation in majolica tanks, followed by thorough washing and slow drying over 18–22 days on raised beds. This meticulous approach develops remarkable clarity and sweetness.
