Español aqui!   El Toledo Coffee family farm has been evolutionin in many forms and ways. This year harvest, 2016 and 2017. Wasn't the exception of this evolution. One unspected and surprising resolt of a new list of products created on the farm. First of all. We aren't the first ones. But there are no too many other people doing this yet. This year, after researching how good the coffee fruit is, and talking about why it has not been used, we decided to stop wasting it as most coffee farms do. Coffee natural sugars can get up to 30 % brix. (Measurement of sugar) Antioxidants are higher than blueberries. And there is a good taste of it. What do you think we can do with it? Please don't dout about giving us your ideas. Well, we have coffee fruit wine. And a coffee fruit juice. Coffee wine? -no. Coffee fruit wine! We did not use the beans or coffee made to do this. We just got the coffee fruits and process it to make our different recepies of wine...

THE BEGGINING OF SOMETHING Coffee cherry wine. Or coffee fruit wine is been something people have tried before. But it has not been able to happen. The reasons behind the failed of trying that has been the ability to collect the fruit pulp from the coffee beans! This year 2014 we tried our first batch of it. How did we do it. We first got to stop the water use to rinse it away. Then with a coffee been press we were able to remove the coffee fruit pulp from the coffee beans. Resulta: 5000 litters of pulp a year. We haven't made it all. But this year we have tried 40 different recepies. A Total of about 200 gallons. As we are not wine makers, we've been learning. So like half of that was thrown away. But 100 gallons of different types of wines is a huge good result for this first try! We have been trying new things and learning from books, internet, people. And with 6 months of reserch we started this project.
