This special microlot was produced by Edward Sandoval on his estate, Canta Ranas. Pedro Echavarría of our long-time export partner Pergamino describes Edward as ‘a rare breed of coffee producer.’ This is because Edward has accumulated years of experience working in agriculture as a technical advisor and coffee quality assessor and has poured this expertise into his farm.
Canta Ranas had been abandoned for years when Edward purchased it, however over the past decade he has meticulously updated infrastructure and refined cultivation practices to achieve better yields and produce incredibly special coffees. We last visited Canta Ranas in November last year and were so impressed by the level of care Edward applies to all aspects of the property. This microlot is 100% Chiroso, a variety Edward favours for its high productivity in Tolima’s cool climate and its uniquely floral and complex cup profile.
