He separated the cherries and began the meticulous process of cultivating this new variety. The Maragesha variety combines the best traits of its Gesha and Maragogype.  This unique combination makes Maragesha a standout variety, offering both exceptional cup quality and visual appeal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuis Anibal’s discovery and cultivation of Maragesha highlight the potential of natural hybridization in coffee farming. By carefully selecting and propagating this new variety, he has contributed to the diversity of coffee genetics, which is crucial for the sustainability and resilience of coffee production in the face of challenges like climate change and disease.

Then, the cherries are placed in the sorting area at Villa Betulia farm, where the sorting team hand-sorts and floats them to remove any low-density, underripe, or defective cherries. Afterwards, cherries are exposed to 45-hour aerobic fermentation. This method highlights the intrinsic flavors of the coffee, resulting in a cup that is rich, delicate, and deeply connected to its origin. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce the fermentation stage is completed, the cherries are transferred to parabolic dryers located on the roof of Luis Anibal’s house.
