ABOUT LOS LIATAS
Daily life on the farm is a blend of hard work and camaraderie. In the mornings, workers prepare for the tasks ahead, gathering sacks and supplies before transporting the harvested coffee cherries by donkey or horse to the de-pulping area. These routines are filled with laughter and light-heartedness, making the demanding work feel a bit lighter. Among the many parts of their work, they find a special joy in the farm’s natural beauty. The sight of coffee plants blooming or the cherries ripening on the branch brings a sense of fulfillment and pride in the life they are cultivating. Specialty coffee has significantly impacted their livelihood. In earlier years, they sold their coffee without much processing, receiving only the local market price. But with the shift to specialty practices, including more careful fermentation, they are now seeing the rewards in higher prices and a broader appreciation for their coffee’s quality. This recognition motivates them to keep refining the processes, knowing each effort adds value to the product and to the life they are building through his work.
