These cooler temperatures, as well as other conditions unique to this micro-climate, contribute to slowing the maturation process of the coffee, yielding a flavor that is unique in its complexity. Over the years, Nelson has reinvested in his farm’s milling infrastructure—in addition to building one of the best drying systems we’ve seen the world over, he recently renovated his farm to include a new set of tanks that he uses to ferment and fully wash his coffees. Combined with this is a new water treatment system that reduces Nelson’s dependency on the scarce water resources needed for processing coffee. Nelson’s coffee continues to shine year after year, a complex and sweet cup, with notes of raisin, pomegranate, and peach.
