Production Process

At IÓ_Coffees, every step in the production process is a sign of our commitment to excellence:

Meticulous selection

The coffee harvesting process is fundamental to guaranteeing the quality of the final product. It begins with a rigorous selection, where each coffee cherry is hand-picked at its exact point of ripeness. This careful method ensures that only the optimum fruits are part of our batches. Attention to detail at this early stage influences the taste and aroma of the coffee, allowing each cup to bring out the unique characteristics of the variety grown. In addition, this sustainable approach promotes respect for the environment and the local economy, ensuring that producers receive fair recognition for their work. Thus, each sip becomes an enriching experience that celebrates the dedication and effort of those who dedicate themselves to growing this delicious bean.

Drying

Today, we employ a variety of techniques to ensure the quality of the beans. From the use of elbas that allow for better air circulation, to raised drying beds that ensure a uniform and slow process, each method has been carefully selected. In addition, the incorporation of high technology into our processes allows us to achieve homogeneous dehydration of the grain, which is essential to preserve the most delicate sensory nuances. Thanks to these approaches, the grain can reach an ideal moisture content, which not only prolongs its freshness, but also improves its overall quality, ensuring a final product of excellence for our consumers. This commitment to quality is the hallmark of our production.

Beneficiation process

Once harvested, the coffee cherries are subjected to rigorous processing methods that seek to bring out their distinctive characteristics. To achieve this, we implement advanced techniques such as controlled anaerobic fermentation, which enhances the complex flavours and unique aromas of each variety. In addition, traditional washing is carried out to provide clarity and purity to the coffee, ensuring that each cup offers a unique experience. Each method applied is carefully adjusted according to the particularities of each lot, bringing out the richness of notes that the terroir has to offer. Thanks to this meticulous process, the coffee not only reflects its origin, but also tells a story of dedication and passion for quality.

Tasting and quality control

Before reaching the roaster, each batch of coffee undergoes a rigorous quality control process. Initially, it passes through a filter in the laboratory of Asocafé Tatamá, where fundamental tests are carried out to guarantee quality. Subsequently, in the laboratory of Granja Paraíso 92, a final filter is carried out, which includes detailed tastings and strict controls to certify that the beans meet the highest standards. This meticulous process not only ensures the quality of the coffee, but also reflects our dedication and love for each bean we select. Every cup we serve is therefore the result of an unwavering commitment to excellence and a passion for coffee production.

At the heart of our coffee importer, we are dedicated to creating a direct link between coffee growers and end consumers. Every coffee bean tells a story, the story of those who grow it with dedication, effort and love. Our mission is to offer roasters the opportunity to select the highest quality beans that reflect the hard work and passion of the farmers. By eliminating middlemen, we seek not only to improve the profitability of coffee farmers, but also to ensure that every cup of coffee that reaches the consumer is full of authenticity and flavour. We strive to have a positive impact on the producing communities, promoting sustainable practices and fair trade that benefits everyone involved in this wonderful chain.
