This coffee has been processed as the Castro family has done since the end of the XIXᵉ century
The Los Santos region is distinguished by its altitude and clay soil, on which coffee of the highest quality grows.
The Caturra variety has been the main variety grown on the Castro family farms since the 1970s. It is a mutation of Bourbon with high flavour qualities.
To obtain this very good coffee, everything starts with the trees. Only the very ripe cherries are picked, by hand, in 3 or 4 passes. This year (23-24), the yield was lower than last year.
This in no way detracts from the Castro family's high standards. Once the cherries have been sorted by flotation, they are pulped and washed. The beans are then dried in mechanical dryers. Once dried, they are sorted by size, density and colour, to export the most homogenous batches possible.

Manual
The region Los Santos
In the mid-19th century, the inhabitants of the Central Valley migrated to the south-east of the country, to the region now known as Los Santos. This region owes its name to the fact that most of its neighbourhoods are named after saints. Coffee has become the mainstay of the region's socio-economic development, along with ecotourism.
This region, protected by mountain ranges on the Pacific side, is a sanctuary for forests and birds. Coffee is grown on small farms averaging 2.5 hectares in the valleys and on the slopes of the country's highest mountains.
Los Santos has a well-defined seven-month rainy season (May to November) and a dry season (December to April). This climate favours the flowering and harvesting of cherries, which takes place over five months, from November to March.
