The estate, which has only one hectare of geisha breeds (Geisha), has just had a small harvest in 2017 and won 28th place in the Costa Rican COE Cup.

In 2002, when Juan Ram ó n Alvarado Rodr í guez first set up a processing plant in the Central Valley (Central Valley), there were only three small processing plants in the region. Including his treatment plant, Costa Rica has a long history of growing coffee, but in the past 10 years, a new "dry" treatment method has become popular, collectively known as "honey treatment", the function of using scrapers to adjust the scraping degree of pulp. With the color from light to dark (white, yellow-red-white, yellow-red-black), the output presents a "honey feeling" from light to strong, with acidity and complex aroma. Each has its own depth and advantages. Honey treatment started in Costa Rica, while Costa Rica has also developed a micro-processing plant (micro mill) coffee characteristic development, the main feature development is the hope that each small farm can have its own system for handling beans, so that the processing can be done by the farm itself, and the best specialty coffee raw beans can be produced according to their own unique process. Finca Brumas del Zurqui Manor has its own family-owned raw bean processing plant, which originally means "misty valleys". In addition to growing coffee, the estate also helps produce nearby estates and coffee farmers. He began to grow coffee in 1880, and in 2006, Brumas won the champion of the Costa Rican National Coffee Competition. The "honey treatment method" of the manor was immediately valued by bean merchants all over the world. So since 2007, Brumas coffee beans have always been snapped up before the competition.

The family has been engaged in coffee cultivation and production for more than a century. In particular, Juan Ramon Alvarado is the leader in honey coffee processing technology. In 2016, the COE Cup in Costa Rica was awarded the third runner-up treatment plant. In 2015, El Beneficio, the estate of family member Natalia Gomez, won the second place in the COE competition through the experience of the Brumas processing plant in honey processing technology.
