The farm sits at an elevation of 1900 MASL and consists of 7 hectares of land, and around 22,000 coffee trees in production and the majority of the production being the exotic Typica Mejorado. However, Abel also grows some Sidra and H1 Hybrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProcessing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis coffee starts by de-pulping and then dry-fermenting the coffee for 24 hours. After washing the coffee Abel immediately places it to dry for 15 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMejorado has become the gem of Ecuador. Although it’s certainly similar in name to Typica, Typica Mejorado is not related to this variety.
