El Sauce is beautiful farm located in San Luis Planes an excellent place for growing coffee.
Don Esteban is a coffee farmer who owns and operates the farm that he inherited of his parents. Is impressive how hard he works, but he said Its not easy but with passion and love everything is possible, and this is the same philosophy that I gave to my sons.
For the process, Don Esteban ensure correct cherry selection, then he depulp and wash the cherries, to be fermented. He made pre-drying in patios before spread the grains on drying beds.
