The best way to integrate coffee trees into a forest? By creating the forest yourself. Las Terrazas del Pisque is a farm in the middle of the desert, a complete ecosystem created from scratch in the middle of an arid desert zone.
This farm is the work of Arnaud Causse, whom you may know from Belco as Director of Transition. But Arnaud is also a singular producer, with a background as an agricultural engineer and many years of experience in the 4 corners of the world.
Recognizable by its large oval beans, here you can taste Pacamara produced in the shade of around twenty species of shade tree, in a washed process.
Arnaud's washed coffees are pulped on the day the best cherries are harvested. They ferment for 24 hours before being washed, then dry under shade for 8 to 12 days.
