At El Ubérrimo, farm tasks like planting, fertilization, and harvesting are done with the help of Francy's neighbours and family members. Production practices on the farm focus on using the least amount of chemicals to preserve the naturally occurring microbial life in the soil. This helps support the growth of healthy coffee plants. This is evident in the clean, sweet, and complex flavours in the final cup.
Before harvest, the cherries are left on the tree to ripen further until they develop a deep, wine-like colour, with average brix degrees above 20°B, usually taking an additional three weeks. Once the majority of cherries have reached their ideal sweetness and colour, the ripe ones are picked and undergo a in-tank fermentation for about 100-120 hours. Afterwards, the cherries are dried in a mechanical dryer for 22 days and then the drying is refined on patios, until the grain reaches a targeted 10 to 11.5% moisture content.
