Aside from Asdrubal, his daughter Mireya, and her husband Freddie, the family employs 3-4 pickers during harvest. Asdrubal provides them with a weekly wage rather than paying based on the weight of cherries picked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll his coffee cherry is honey processed on raised and covered beds. The cherry is floated and then fermented in covered tanks for 70 hours. It is then depulped without water and taken straight to the raised beds where it is rotated during a two-week drying period. The current lot is predominantly Sarchimor and Acauã.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eDirect Trade\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with his daughter, Mireya, and her husband Freddie, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ptscoffee.mom\/blogs\/meet-our-farmers\/ecuador-leonidas-asdruval-apolo-nueva-vida\" title=\"PT's Direct Trade partners: Leonidas Asdrubal Apolo, Nueva Vida\"\u003eAsdrubal works his five-hectare farm near Puyango in Loja\u003c\/a\u003e, the southwesternmost region in Ecuador. Fifteen years ago he had a different farm in a neighboring area that was destroyed by frost. Asdrubal has always loved coffee, so when he had the opportunity in 2017 to buy this farm he didn’t hesitate. His father had taught him about coffee production as a teen. He used to manually crush-mill and sell to the local market until Caravela arrived in the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing our discovery of Asdrubal's coffee via Caravela in 2022, we jumped at the chance to visit the farm in September 2023. This is the third harvest that we have purchased directly from Asdrubal, and we are pleased to report that his output has more than doubled since last year!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PT's Coffee","offers":[{"title":"10oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40748081578032,"sku":"19570WB","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Espresso","offer_id":40748081610800,"sku":"19570ES","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Fine","offer_id":40748081643568,"sku":"19570FI","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Auto","offer_id":40748081676336,"sku":"19570AU","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Coarse","offer_id":40748081709104,"sku":"19570CO","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40748081741872,"sku":"39570WB","price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Espresso","offer_id":40748081774640,"sku":"39570ES","price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Fine","offer_id":40748081807408,"sku":"39570FI","price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Auto","offer_id":40748081840176,"sku":"39570AU","price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Coarse","offer_id":40748081872944,"sku":"39570CO","price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40748081905712,"sku":"59570WB","price":131.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Espresso","offer_id":40748081938480,"sku":"59570ES","price":131.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Fine","offer_id":40748081971248,"sku":"59570FI","price":131.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Auto","offer_id":40748082004016,"sku":"59570AU","price":131.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Coarse","offer_id":40748082036784,"sku":"59570CO","price":131.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/7448\/files\/Asdruval.jpg?v=1705525242","url":"https:\/\/ptscoffee.mom\/products\/leonidas-asdrubal-apolo-honey","provider":"PT's Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
