An unusually warm and arid winter was followed by promising September rains, only for October’s dryness — right at the peak of blossoming — to reduce fruit-setting and, consequently, coffee cherries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFrom November through January, rainfall returned, though still below average, sustaining healthy plant and cherry development. February surprised us again with a short dry spell during the critical grain-filling stage, resulting in smaller screen sizes and some underdeveloped beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFortunately, March through June brought steady rains, replenishing the soil and allowing crops to recover. Our higher-altitude, with its cooler climate and naturally slower cycles, were less affected by February’s dryness, and for the first time in five years, winter brought very cold days with three light-to- moderate frosts between June and August. Combined with sunny, dry winter weather, this created ideal conditions for a longer, more delicate harvest and gentler drying of the beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough Mother Nature was rather capricious in the last 12 months, our team at the far \u003cbr\u003emanaged to mitigate and turn around all these challenges, and the result is some exciting\u003cbr\u003ecoffees coming your way.
