Western Costa Rica Valley | Laura / Yelsa processing plant Helsar White Honey Kaddura flavor?

Yelsa processing plant is one of the first micro-processing plants to be introduced to Taiwan since the start of this wave of micro-processing plant revolution in Costa rica. it appeared on the market in 2007, together with Herba é, Brumas and Lajas. Wait, the first wave of micro-processing plant reform pioneers are all famous. Ricardo P é rez Barrantes, the owner of the treatment plant, has been growing coffee in Costa Rica for more than 40 years. He is an experienced coffee producer and is committed to innovative methods of treatment, from the earliest washing to honey treatment in the past decade. In the early days, like other small farmers, the harvested coffee and cherries were delivered to medium and large processing plants for production, and such high-quality coffee raw beans were mixed with other general batches for export, and farmers could only make a small profit in the industrial chain. not only can it not encourage farmers to pursue better quality of raw beans, but also can not improve their living standards. In view of this, in 2004, the Ricardo family took advantage of the revolution of the micro-processing plant and set up the Elsa treatment plant, which initially worked mainly with his brothers Marvin and Philip Felipe Rodriguez to deal with the raw coffee beans of their own estate, the Santa Lucia estate (Santa Lucia). But in recent years, it has also begun to handle high-quality coffee cherries produced by small farmers in micro-producing areas such as West Valley, Lourdes de Naranjo and Llano Bonito de Naranjo. It has been highly appraised and has a considerable award-winning record in the international coffee market in recent years.

Costa Rica is an exemplary producer of fine coffee and micro-batches of coffee. More than a decade ago, many coffee farmers began to set up their own micro-processing plants; by constantly improving the quality of their coffee beans year by year, they kept their differences from ordinary commercial Dazong beans, so as to get better prices on the market and provide more excellent raw coffee beans. Yelsa treatment Plant is a standard medium-sized processing plant in Costa Rica, which is not only a model of local processing plant, but also a model of international listing. In 2007, it received a high rating of Cup of Excellence (CoE) 91.37. it was well-known for its good results in the second runner-up in 2010. in August, September and October of the same year, Coffee Review scored 92 points for three months in a row. In 2011, the Canadian Coffee Masters Championship won the championship with 651 points, represented the country in the Vienna World Series the following year, and once again proved the extraordinary value of raw coffee beans produced by the Yelsa processing plant.
