The higher altitudes and cooler night temperatures in La Paz slow the ripening of the coffee cherries, allowing them to develop greater sweetness and frequently stone-fruit–like flavours. Alex oversees all processing on the farm, carefully hand-harvesting the cherries and drying the coffee on raised beds under direct sunlight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlex learned about coffee since his childhood because his father had a farm and he helped him a lot. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen he turned 19 years old, he started working in a clothing factory in an industrial zone, where he worked for 9 years. In 2013 his uncle proposed to sell him a property in Cabañas, La Paz (where his family originates). After thinking about it, he decided to buy the property with all the savings from his work in the factory. The next year he quit the factory and started planting the coffee farm on the property. His dad currently lives on the farm with the family and he helps him manage the farm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cherries are picked carefully when ripe and submerged in a tank of water to remove floating cherries.
