From Little Wolf:
 
"Finca Arashi is located in Saraguro, Loja, Ecuador, and is managed by Abel Salinas, a 58-year-old, first-generation coffee grower and fifth out of twelve siblings. The farm sits at an elevation of 1,890 m.a.s.l. and consists of 7 hectares of land, and around 22,000 coffee trees in production and the majority of the production being the exotic Typica Mejorado. However, Abel also grows some Sidra and H1 Hybrid.
 
Abel starts his Typica Mejorado Washed lot by de-pulping and then dry-fermenting the coffee for 24 hours. Upon washing the coffee, he then immediately places it to dry for 15 days in a greenhouse structure. For the F1 Hybrid Natural lot, the coffee is hand-selected at its ripest, dry-fermented for 48 hours, and placed to dry for 20-25 days. 
 
Both lots are dried with constant movement to ensure an even drying process until they reach around 10% moisture content."
