ABOUT THE FARM

The story is mostly hidden within the name itself – Microbeneficio. This word means a small coffee processing station. The Gutiérrez family has combined 14 hectares of coffee farms with a facility for preparing the beans for export. This way, nothing limits them in experimenting and creating a wide variety of microlots.

The idea behind the Gutiérrez family's business is based on planting rare varieties such as Geisha or SL28 on the farm and then processing them into separate lots. The small scale makes it possible to focus on the highest possible quality. Manual harvesting, precise monitoring of fermentation conditions, and bean drying make the Gutiérrez family's coffees reach the highest level of specialty.

In the bag, you will find our favorite type of coffee experiment. The Kenyan SL28 variety grown in Costa Rica. We have already had such coffees from our favorite Hacienda Sonora, and now it is time for Ivan Gutiérrez, who – in our humble opinion – has raised the stakes. This coffee is perfectly prepared. Sweet, deep, and complex. Hats off. - Roastery

ROASTER'S OPINION

The favorite choice of the Younger Brother: complex, deep, and with a very long aftertaste. The Kenyan SL28 variety, grown with great care in Costa Rica, yields extraordinary results!
