From Aroma Nativo: _“Over the past few years, Aroma Nativo has been building connections between undiscovered Colombian coffee farmers and well-known roasters from around the world. In 2022, Luis Marcelino, the founder of Aroma Nativo, takes it a step further by launching the Veci Project: it's a collaborative coffee production initiative between coffee producers who have good agronomic practices but lack the infrastructure on the farm to process their coffee. Aroma Nativo contributes by purchasing their coffee cherries at a high price and using its fermentation knowledge and processing facilities located in Pitalito, Huila.”_ This coffee was harvested and selected for the ripest cherries which then underwent a double fermentation process. First it was fermented in a low-oxygen environment before it was pulped for the secondary fermentation. During the second stage the fermentation is a mix of natural bacteria and a special yeast. The coffee then spends 15 days in a parabolic sun dryer, followed by a 2.5-month stabilization period in a temperature-controlled room.
