But due to low market prices, he eventually had to abandon coffee production and dedicate himself to other activities to make a living.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDecades later, a few of those original trees were still producing. Their small harvest was just enough to cover the estate’s taxes each year, keeping coffee alive as a living legacy of his father’s work. Enrique Merino revisited those memories of childhood among the old coffee plants and decided to build on that legacy. He began replanting, replacing the aging trees with new ones, with the goal of restoring coffee production in Pallatanga and positioning it for specialty markets. What began as a family legacy has now grown into a project that produces around 150 quintales of green coffee per year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor this Sidra lot, the cherries are pulped and then soaked during a 72 hour fermentation.
