Importer Notes:

Ustiberta Alvarez owns a 4-manzana (about 2.8 ha) farm in the Chalatenago department. The farm is home to around 10,000 coffee trees in addition to banana and apple trees. Alvarez's Natural coffees are left to ferment for 12 to 14 hours before drying on African beds for 17 to 22 days. 

Alvarez says labor shortages have become quite common in recent years and the cost of harvesting has increased. Fighting pests is also a continuous challenge.
