Costa Rica Marvin Barrantes

Marvin Barrantes established his production in 2012, starting with a small depulpator and a small quantity of beds where he grew grain. Today it has an eight-hectare farm and a separate cultivation area. The grain is harvested by the Marvin family and processed in organic production.

This lot was processed by the method of honey. Honey is a method of processing in which the skin and part of the pulp are removed. Such berries when dried acquire a honey color and become sticky. Therefore, the method is called "honey", which means "honey".

And although honey processing is not cheap, Marvin explained that the logistics of production and its organization (for example, as a short distance from the place where the grain dries to the mill) give him the opportunity to make just such coffee. In addition to the Caturra variety, Marvin grows Sarchimore, Millennium, Geisha and Villalobo varieties on his plot.

Each berry is collected by hand, after which starts depulpation process — the separation of the nucleus from the pulp of the berry. The parchment piece is left and prepared for drying on wooden frames in the sun. Coffee dries for 20 days, after which it is transferred to storage. The rest of the pulp is removed from the dry coffee, this process is called halling and the coffee is sent for export, after which our team to find unique lots buys and exports it to Ukraine.
