About: We travelled up the rocky slopes to get to Manuel’s farm. A horse stood in the middle of the road. The horse whisperer, Benjamin, moved the huge beast off the road. Higher and higher we climbed until the outline of the wet mill emerged from the dense fog. It’s another world up here. The cool night temperatures cause the coffee cherries to mature slowly and develop a higher sugar content. This year Manuel produced his first bags of natural coffee... and they taste great!
