Quejina is a family-owned farm and has been in Nicolas Ramirez's family since it was first used for forestry harvesting (lumber, timber) and then once it was converted to coffee land. Nicolas hopes to expand the land by buying more plots nearby, to separate out more cultivars as micro-lots and plant new ones, and to improve both the farming techniques and the conservation programs on the land.
The coffee is picked ripe and de-pulped, allowed to ferment for 18–24 hours, and dried—drying takes between 3–5 days depending on the ambient temperature and weather.
