Deiver Jesus Garcia was born on December 7, 1997, in Tablon de Gomez, Nariño. He learned coffee cultivation from his parents and has farmed it for seven years.
His two-hectare farm, El Llano, sits in La Victoria at 1,800 meters above sea level and takes its name from the local sector. Deiver grows the Castillo variety with plants averaging five years old; coffee is the sole crop and grows without shade trees.
The harvest undergoes two days of whole-cherry fermentation before mechanical depulping, then 17 hours of wet fermentation in tanks. Drying takes about six days on a patio and in a solar dryer before the coffee is driven to the collection point.
Deiver views coffee as profitable and hopes to enhance his solar dryer. Environmental conditions remain his main challenge, and one goal as a producer is to win a national coffee competition.
Tasting notes: fig bar, tamarind, and caramel.
