From ONA Coffee

This is a crisp and structured filter from Flia Fernandez that has wonderful notes of sweet orange, and fresh green apple with a note of lemongrass throughout.  

Second-generation coffee producers Luis and Mario Fernandez manage a 7-hectare farm in Calama, Bolivia, situated at elevations of 1,450 to 1,550 meters—ideal for high-altitude Arabica cultivation. Their family journey in coffee began with their parents' migration to this region, and today, the brothers uphold this legacy with a blend of tradition and innovation. Luis, with his professional agronomic training, focuses on ecological stewardship and identifying mother plants for optimal seed quality.

Their farm is planted with Catuaí Rojo and Caturra varieties, known for producing clean, balanced cups with fine sweetness. During the June to August harvest, they employ manual selective picking, processing only the ripest cherries. These cherries undergo the washed method, involving careful fermentation and thorough rinsing to enhance clarity and consistency.

The Fernandez brothers prioritise sustainable practices to nurture long-term soil and plant health, aligning ecological care with modern coffee production. Their lot is a direct expression of Bolivian highland terroir, realised through precise agronomy and a commitment to quality at every step, from plant selection to final drying.
