Cerro San Luis Micromill is a family business run by brothers Alexander and Magali Delgado. The family owns two farms and operate a small micromill out of the family home a few miles away. In recent years they have been replacing their coffee stock with varieties that are perfectly suited to the climate of the farm which not only increases the quality and yeild of their harvest, but also reduces the environmental footprint of the farm as crops need less watering and fewer interventions to produce larger harvests.
This lot has been honey processed. Once delivered to the micromill, cherry is pulped and left to dry on raised beds for a few days. Cherry is then moved to a covered patio and turned regularly to monitor and complete the drying process.
