Plan Libertad Maragogype

In the remote mountains above the Plan Libertad community, Don Ezequiel Diaz has spent over 20 years growing exceptional coffee. His Maragogype, a rare and often-overlooked variety, is now shining brighter than ever. With support from Edelmira, he has refined his approach, shifting to washed processing on the farm to produce a cleaner, more vibrant cup. Now, with a dedicated Maragogype nursery in the works, his focus is on pushing quality even further.

Only the ripest cherries are handpicked each evening, floated, pulped, and fermented overnight before a final rinse in fresh water. At dawn, Don Ezequiel loads the wet parchment into airtight bags and begins the steep journey down the mountain - his horse carrying the precious cargo to Edelmira’s wet mill. After ten days of careful drying and a final resting period to stabilise the flavours, the result is a beautifully clean, fruit-forward Maragogype that’s packed with clarity and character.
