She pursued her university degree through a distance learning program while working on the farm to finance her studies. Upon graduating in 2019, she joined the FNC as a field assistant in her hometown of Arboleda, Nariño. In addition, she gained valuable experience in sensory development by working in a private export laboratory in Buesaco. In Francy’s words, \"My interest in coffee grew even stronger, and every day, I found myself eager to learn more about the fascinating world of coffee.\" Since then, she has never looked back, emerging as one of the most innovative producers in Nariño. Francy oversees the Berruecos project, which gathers parchment from small producers in the region at a collection point. This initiative enables isolated producers to access the specialty coffee market, offering them the opportunity to earn premium prices. The project generates larger, more manageable lots from exceptional farms and producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 2017, Francy initiated a project on the farm to plant new coffee varieties, a venture that demanded meticulous planning—from selecting the right seeds to managing the storage facilities. The project incorporated soil conservation practices and increased planting distances to foster optimal plant growth. Agricultural tasks, including planting, fertilizing, and harvesting, are carried out with the support of neighbours and family members. The production methods emphasize the minimal use of agrochemicals, aiming to protect the soil’s microbial life while promoting the health and resilience of the coffee plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe coffee production process begins with the harvest of ripe beans from the Caturra and Colombia varieties, showing a deep red color. The beans are evaluated to ensure full maturity, with Brix levels above 22°. The cherries are first washed until the water runs clear and the floats are removed, then disinfected with water. They are placed in bins with Airlok valves for 48 hours before being dry-pulped and sieved. The beans then undergo a waterless oxidation process for approximately 60 hours before being transported to the drying area. Honey coffee is dried on a patio with tarps for 17 to 23 days until reaching 14% moisture, then sun-refined 4 to 6 hours per day. When moisture reaches 10–11 %, the coffee is stored in Latinatech bags on pallets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"jjbeancoffee","offers":[{"title":"340g (12oz) \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":43437294387313,"sku":null,"price":30.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"340g (12oz) \/ Percolator","offer_id":43437294420081,"sku":null,"price":30.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"340g (12oz) \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":43437294452849,"sku":null,"price":30.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"340g (12oz) \/ Cone","offer_id":43437294485617,"sku":null,"price":30.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"340g (12oz) \/ French Press \/ Flat Bottom Drip","offer_id":43437294518385,"sku":null,"price":30.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"340g (12oz) \/ Aeropress","offer_id":43437294551153,"sku":null,"price":30.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/3696\/7281\/products\/colombia-terra-honey-web.jpg?v=1649873997","url":"https:\/\/jjbeancoffee.com\/products\/colombia-el-uberrimo-1","provider":"JJ Bean Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
