LIGHT UP COFFEE LAS COLINAS - COSTA RICA (SOFT)

Sale price HK$180.00

In Costa Rica, Tarrazu reigns supreme in both quantity and quality. Our coffee micromill partner of over ten years, "Candelilla," is located right in this top-tier region.

Candelilla is Costa Rica's first-ever "micromill." A micromill is a small, independent processing plant established by coffee farmers next to their own farms, where they personally handle the post-processing and refinement of coffee beans.

Before the widespread adoption of micromills, producers could only sell their harvested coffee cherries to institutions like regional agricultural cooperatives, often at low prices based purely on weight. As transactions were solely based on quantity, the acquisition price was difficult to increase. To break free from this predicament, producers sought to inject more added value into their coffee. They began experimenting with assembling their own processing equipment, taking charge of the entire process from harvesting and refining to selling green beans. With their excellent flavor profiles, they eventually succeeded in selling their coffee at higher prices.

This wave of producers personally handling post-processing to enhance coffee's added value has been hailed as the "micromill revolution," and Candelilla is a pioneer of this revolution.
