Kenedy Lopez

This coffee was grown by Kenedy Lopez Ceron at his farm El Nido. El Nido harvests coffee following strict ripeness criteria, floated and hand-sorted to remove any defects. Cherries were then exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment was then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved.This microlot is 100% Variedad Colombia. This variety was developed by the Colombian Coffee Federation in order to fight leaf rust and is a hybridization of Caturra and Timor Hybrid.

Kenedy López was born into a traditional coffee-growing family and owns El Indio Farm, located at 1850 m.a.s.l in the La Unión Municipality, Nariño Department. He produces traditional varieties such as Castillo and Colombia. He also produces plantain, lime and yuca for self consumption.

He was fortunate to inherit a land where he could cultivate his own coffee.After a couple of years of success with his crops, he was able to expand his farm, allowing him to grow the production of exceptional coffee. He focused his efforts on quality, aware that this evolution would take time but would ultimately be worth it. His wife, Adela, has always been supportive of his projects. Adela has played a key role in helping develop coffee processing and coffee growing.
