More info about this coffee:
 
This coffee was cultivated at Finca El Salitre by Johnny Alvarado Abarca and processed at his family’s micromill, Corazon de Jesus. The micromill was founded by the Alvarado Fonseca family in 2015 and has made significant improvements since opening. They’ve even placed some of their coffees in the Cup of Excellence finals.
 
Cherry is selectively handpicked and ripe, red cherry is delivered to the Corazon de Jesus micromill. Cherry is laid to dry on raised beds and is raked frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 10 to 20 days for cherry to dry. Once dry, cherry rests for approximately 2 months before being dry milled and prepared for export.
