He owns a main farm in Bombe and a smaller, roughly 5-hectare farm in Kokose, equipped with its own dedicated drying station. Beyond his own plots, he sources coffee from over 100 registered outgrowers with similar growing conditions, forming a \"central farm – satellite producers\" model. Annual output reaches approximately 1.5 containers of green coffee, grown at an average elevation of around 2,200 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lot is a Natural — cherries are dried whole, allowing the fruit to impart its character directly into the bean.
