▲ opened the bean bag and there was a rich fruity sweet taste coming from the nostrils! Sun-treated raw beans show a yellowish-brown appearance, some of which still have reddish-brown pectin.

▲ Juan Ramon Alvarado Rodriguez is a fourth-generation coffee farmer whose family coffee business dates back to 1890 when his great-grandfather bought a piece of land in San Isdro, Heredia, near the capital San Jose. Because the valley was covered with clouds all the year round, the farm was named Brumas del Zurqui, which means "valley full of clouds". ▲ in 1999, Juan just graduated from EARTH Agricultural University. The following year, the price in the international coffee market collapsed, and the coffee business, which had been run by the family for a hundred years, encountered a great crisis. The crisis has brought a turn for the better. Juan believes that only by creating the added value of coffee beans can we raise the price of products and avoid falling into bloody competition at low prices.

▲ Juan introduced micro-processing equipment Penagos from Colombia and began to process raw coffee beans on his farm. Penagos only needs a very small amount of water to remove the peel and pectin. Juan's professional training at EARTH Agricultural University was brought into full play at this time. He retained part of the pectin for sun drying, and this is the origin of Costa Rica's "honey treatment"!

▲ established the Blumas processing Plant (Brumas Del Zurqui Micromill) in 2004 and won the first prize in the national coffee competition in 2006. And this "Micromill micro-processing plant trend" has also gradually spread in Costa Rica, there are now more than 150 micro-processing plants in the country!
