Beneficio
Something interesting while visiting one of the farms in Colombia was this brand new beneficio. These run around $1500.00 US and are all stainless steel. The interesting part was that the fermentation tank was all stainless. Not sure what the overall impact of this will be for the cup, but I think that for cleanliness and prevention of ferment it should help.
This farm was a sustainable model since he grows numerous crops on the farm. I had some across a small lot of Bourbon varietals in one corner of the farm that have grown to heights of 9 feet! Most of the varietals grown at this farm were Caturra and Colombiano.
