Process

From greenhouse to box in under 24 hours, with the cold chain always on.

  1. 01

    Growing

    Greenhouses in the Andes with equatorial light all year. Slow growth gives firm stems and large heads.

  2. 02

    Cut at the right point

    Each variety is cut at its ideal opening point so it opens at destination, not on the way.

  3. 03

    Hydration

    Stems go into water with a hydrating solution minutes after cutting, before entering post-harvest.

  4. 04

    Grading

    We grade by stem length, head size and quality. Anything below standard is not packed.

  5. 05

    Bunching

    Even bunches with sleeve and label, made to each customer's specifications.

  6. 06

    Cold room

    Bunches rest in the cold room before packing so they arrive firm and with longer vase life.

  7. 07

    Packing & dispatch

    Marked, documented boxes leave in refrigerated trucks for the cargo agent at Quito's airport.
