The station collects cherries from more than 500 smallholder farmers, each working 2-5 hectares at elevations between 1,850 and 2,150 meters above sea level. The Gigesa station holds both NOP and EU Organic certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter harvest, freshly picked cherries are delivered to the station and run through a flotation tank to remove lower-quality fruit before processing begins. The cherries are then moved into shade for 3-5 hours to dry off surface moisture, then spread onto raised drying beds. Workers agitate the cherries regularly to keep drying even and prevent over-fermentation. The full natural drying process takes 15 to 18 days from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo6 sources this coffee through Common Goal, an importer that works on long-term direct relationships with producers. Green coffee is sealed in GrainPro bags at origin and stored in a low-humidity environment before roasting, keeping quality stable from the farm through to your bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout No6 Coffee Co.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo6 Coffee Co. was founded in 2015 in Nelson, British Columbia. What started as an intention to make a difference in the cup and on the farm has grown into a boutique roastery and tasting bar in the heart of Nelson, one of the more coffee-serious small cities in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo6 works exclusively with independent importers who source directly from small farms and cooperatives, which means farmers are paid above fair trade premiums to keep quality improving year over year. They roast and restock weekly in small batches, and their sourcing spans a range from approachable everyday coffees to more unusual single origins. Their zero-waste initiative is a genuine part of how they operate: no single-use cups at the tasting bar, a returnable glass jar program for locals, and recyclable bag materials across their retail lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"I sat with Denis, owner of No6 Coffee Co, this past January.
