It is a new series of Father Coffee launched in 2016, which is of better quality and has reached the standard of the COE Superior Manor, and the cup testing team made a splendor at COE in Costa Rica in 2017.

There are 63 coffee farmers in the Tarraz-Frailes area, each with about 1-2 hectares of coffee plantations, which sell the red fruits harvested to large companies every year to make a meagre profit. For locals who believe in Catholicism, apart from preaching, priests also play a more learned and well-connected role in the whole village. Three years ago, the priest decided to use his relationship to rent space with nearby processing plants to help small farmers turn coffee cherries into raw beans and to help find better buyers. Black Gold Coffee was the first buyer. At first, Black Gold played a similar helping role, but it also found that this way would not last long, so it proposed some improvement methods, such as the classification of micro-batches, as well as improving the way of harvesting, handling, storage, packaging, and so on. After a year, there was a significant improvement, the output also increased, and the local coffee bean brand "Caf é del adre" was successfully established. It's sold in all the major stores.

Last year, they received a bonus from the Ministry of Agriculture to build a processing plant, which was officially opened on January 28, 2016. now they have their own processing plant, which can make better quality coffee, help more farmers and give them a year of hard work. Get more feedback.
