Farm Information:

Chorora is owned by Olinka Velez and operates as the sister farm to Yambamine. Nestled side by side on a steep hillside, these farms are surrounded by untouched cloud forest and intersected by the historic Inca Road, which once connected Cuzco to Quito. The property overlooks the scenic Macará Valley, with views stretching to the Peruvian border.

Processing Method:

The coffee undergoes a washed, double anaerobic fermentation process, also known as "Red Washed."

Upon arrival at the processing station, the coffee cherries are subjected to a 72-hour carbonic maceration, during which lactic acid bacteria cultivated from mosto play a key role in fermentation. After this initial phase, the cherries are partially washed, leaving a portion of the mucilage on the parchment.

The coffee then undergoes a second 72-hour round of carbonic maceration inside sealed tanks. This dual fermentation process results in a reddish hue on the parchment, giving the process its name “Red Washed.”

Finally, the coffee is fully washed and transferred to African drying beds, where it is dried in a controlled environment until it reaches a stable moisture content of 10%.
