This lot is grown on El Salitre farm, owned by Johnny Alvarado & his family. It is a naturally processed lot that comes from their family micro-mill named Corazon De Jesus. This is a family affair, incorporating seven coffee producing members across the Brunca region.

Harvesting the ripest cherries to start, polypropelene bags are used for a 2 day in-cherry pre-fermentation stage under shade. On the third day the cherries are laid out on patios and piled and covered at night, repeated over ten days. During the heat of the day, the cherries are raked three times, promoting airflow. The cherries are moved to African beds for a final 15 days until optimum moisture is reached.

In 2021 Jhon Alvarado secured 5th place in the Costa Rican Cup of Excellence, 3rd place in 2022 & 2nd place this year in the natural & honeys category. All these incredible achievements are testament to their dedication & commitment to producing world-class coffee.
