Farm and Processing
Finca Las Nubes has an altitude of 1700–1850 meters and is located in the township of Agua Negra just 15 minutes outside of Pitalito, Huila. When she purchased the farm in
2020, Claudia started planting unique and less common to varieties such as Mokka and Rume Sudan while still continuing to harvest Caturra, Pacamara, Pink Bourbon, and Geisha varieties. The farm's main building includes a drying space under its roof, as well as a water collection system that stores rainwater in a subterranean tank for daily duties and coffee processing. This farm also has an automated cherry floating system, depulper, and a 10,000kg capacity mechanical silo on site for processing.
Before picking the cherries on her farm, Claudia measures the brix of the ripe cherries to make sure that they have an appropriate amount of sugar. The cherries are then floated to remove any defects before being depulped. The pulped coffee is fermented for 40 hours and then fully washed. Finally, the coffee is moved to the drying area where it dries for 18–20 days until it reaches the target humidity. Finca Las Nubes gets mild temperatures around 18–21° C during the day, with cooler temperatures at 10–12° C at night. The property's main building includes a drying space under its roof, as well as a water collection system that stores rainwater in a subterranean tank for daily duties and coffee processing.
