The fourth generation of coffee growers in her family, Karen learned the craft from her father, Jose — a producer who was the first in his family to step into the specialty market, and who passed down every detail from picking cherries at the right ripeness to careful fermentation, drying and hand-sorting. When Karen graduated in 2022, her parents acquired a small plot of land at a slightly higher altitude beside the family farm and put it in her hands, hoping she would carry the tradition forward. This lot is the result. Cherries are picked every 15 days at peak ripeness and fermented overnight in a hopper before being depulped the next morning. Each day's fresh pick is depulped into the fermenting mass; once picking is complete the whole batch ferments under water for 48 hours, then is rinsed and dried on a solar bed for 18 to 20 days. The result is a cup that is clean, floral and full of red-berry sweetness. How to Brew Finca El Placer Method Filter / Pour-over Ratio 1 :
