MEET THE PRODUCER : Nestled in the mountains near Las Sabanas, a beautiful farm - San Rafael. Orlando Hoyes took over his father's coffee farm, San Rafael in 2014. Beyond his ambitions, he seeks something more profound: he wishes for coffee buyers and drinkers to understand the adventure, the tail, and the heart poured into every bean. His father Jerald had been operating San Rafael for over 50 years.
ABOUT THE PROCESS : At San Rafael, they pick, wash, and de-pulp the honey washed coffee, then transit the bags to their beneficio, where they will continue to dry on shaded African beds. San Rafael is where all the coffee produced by the Hoyes family is washed and de-pulped. Using fresh mountain spring water.
