Las Tolas is a farm owned by Arnaud Causse since 2004. You may know him 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.
This washed Java is grown in the heart of one of the richest, but also most vulnerable, regions in terms of biodiversity, the Choco Andino, on former pastureland reforested by Arnaud.
In the shade of the trees, the cherries ripen slowly, between 9 and 10 months. Arnaud's washed coffees are pulped on the day the best cherries are harvested. They ferment for 36 hours before being washed, then dry for 12 to 18 days.
