OTHER DETAILS

The main harvest of the farm is concentrated between August, September and October. There are small intermediate harvests known as “mitaca” or “traviesa” during the months of December, January, February and March. This is uncommon in the other coffee growing regions of the department, due to the fact that the altitude at which the coffee is grown in the Tangua region is much higher than in other zones, which means that the physiological processes of the plant are slower and longer.
