Colombia - Granja Paraiso 92 | Anaerobic Natural EA DECAF Red BourbonAbout the Coffee Wilton Benitez has spent over 26 years growing coffee in Colombia, with more than 16 of those focused specifically on specialty production. He runs Granja Paraiso 92 in Colombia's Cauca region, farming at 1,900 to 2,100 meters above sea level. Wilton is a Q grader and processor who designed and built much of the farm's equipment himself, with help from his brother. What sets Granja Paraiso 92 apart is the level of control Wilton
