But contrary to what might be summed up with a location, there are many nuances to this single lot from the Antigua region, which was cultivated on a seven-acre family farm called La Bendicion and owned by Luis Girón. \u0026amp;nbsp;Luis received La Bendicion as an inheritance from his grandparents.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026amp;nbsp;During the harvest Luis can offer employment to 15 people living in neighboring communities.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026amp;nbsp;In addition to managing his farm Luis also works as a representative of San Miguel Coffee an organization that works with more than 55 small coffee producers from Antigua.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLuis gives full attention to farm management and selective picking and then transport harvested cherries to San Miguel wet mill, which\u0026amp;nbsp;has all the tools to expertly manage the entire post-harvest details.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nProcessing Details:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith little to no processing infrastructure for processing at the farmers, San Miguel provides a centrally located collection point where farmers can easily deliver their harvested cherries.\u0026amp;nbsp; From there, the cherries are transported to a mill designed for receiving and processing from the small farms in the region.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026amp;nbsp;The daily delivery of cherries are floated to separate out damaged and less dense beans and then depulped.\u0026amp;nbsp; The depulped coffee seeds are fermented in tanks for up to 36 hours and washed.\u0026amp;nbsp; The mill is equipped with patios and raised beds that are used in a two-step process, first with gentle pre-drying on patios and then precisely finished to 11 percent moisture on raised beds.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nExporting Details:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDried parchment is taken to a dry mill in Guatemala City, which is equipped with multiple pieces of equipment to sort green coffee typical in most dry mills, such as gravity beds, screens and electronic color sorters.\u0026amp;nbsp;Mild weather in Guatemala City provides ideal conditions for storing parchment in the warehouse until it is time to export.\u0026amp;nbsp; San Miguel also has an experienced team dedicated to maintaining traceability and ensuring quality control. The experience brought to bear by San Miguel makes this classic Antigua regional profile shine.","brand":"Royal Coffee Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47443708313788,"sku":"3427097000059184680","price":223.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/7672\/2364\/files\/rcf-coffee-info-137f108a26c65f5bdb87cafd2f64ebc2484c51bf0047de966b2cde8580431985.jpg?v=1789791660","url":"https:\/\/royalcoffee.com\/products\/41447-1","provider":"Royal Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
