Profile image · identity and location not independently authenticated
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
The cited exact product page documents Esmeralda Negra as the farm behind Klatch Coffee's 2026 Ombligon Red Dragon Washed Thermo-Shock release. It does not publish the farm's founding date, area or elevation.
Challenges
The farm faces significant climate challenges due to high-altitude conditions characterized by persistent rain, fog, and cloud cover. These environmental factors prevent the use of traditional drying patios, necessitating the use of mechanical dryers to ensure consistent processing.
Innovations
For the documented Ombligon lot, freshly harvested cherries rested for 12 hours, received 50°C hot-water treatment, fermented without oxygen for 80 hours and dried for 50 hours using dehumidifiers.
