Diego de la Cerda is a third-generation farmer who has held the reins at the farm for the last 15 years, during which the number of varietals on offer has increased and the production methods have become more consistent and unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEl Socorro has placed highly over consecutive years in the Guatemalan Cup of Excellence competitions. In 2023, Diego placed first and second at the Cup of Excellence with his lots of Washed Gesha. El Socorro produces fantastically clean washed processed coffees, utilising hot water following the milling process to accelerate the fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiego believes that reducing the fermentation time maintains the optimal density of the bean, leading to greater cup quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT IS THE SUSTAINABLE PROFILE PROJECT?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'House Coffee' series by April, also known as their 'Sustainable Profile' Coffee.
