For all of his adult life until 2015, Huver worked as a math teacher in Nariño. But in 2014, when global coffee prices plummeted, he made the decision to return to his coffee-growing roots, putting his family's farm—and livelihood—at great risk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAfter years of trial and error, the Castillo family exported their first lots of specialty coffee in 2018. This shift from commodity to specialty, plus a tireless focus on quality and improving processing techniques, helped to sustain the family business. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAndrés Martínez, a biochemical engineer and fellow coffee producer, has come alongside Huver to assist in both processing experiments and business management.

After this, the coffee is pulped and undergoes a second round of fermentation, this time for 24 hours, with the addition of the previously fermented mucilage.

In fact, an unknowing recipient may not even identify this coffee as a co-ferment at first sip! It’s super sweet and lightly fruited, like blueberries tossed in panela sugar.
