JHON JAIRO GOMEZ
Smallholder Spotlight
In many ways, Jhon Jairo Gomez is the prototypical example of the type of producer Semilla seeks to meet and advocate for in the North American market. Despite possessing some of the best quality coffee we’ve ever encountered in Colombia, he sold his entirely en verde (de-pulped and not dried, sold wet) until the 2019/2020 main harvest when we purchased one 70kg bag from him, which was all the coffee he could afford to keep aside, as well as all he could effectively process due to a lack of infrastructure.

Process
Washed
Cherries are collected every three weeks, and the cherries are left to ferment in sealed bags for 24 hours before being de-pulped the next day. After de-pulping, the coffee mass undergoes a dry ferment of 36 hours in tiled tanks. The seeds are then rinsed and left to drain in bags for three hours before being moved to the solar dryer, where they are dried for between 15 and 20 days.
