Description: Rodolfo E. Boillat carries on his family's coffee tradition as the third generation specializing in coffee production. He takes great pride in now having his daughter, Ariela M. Boillat, join as the fourth generation. Their dedicated and innovative approach to cultivating, harvesting, and processing ensures a consistent supply of specialty coffee beans. Their commitment to social and environmental responsibility further enhances their coffee's quality and sustainability. They've refined their approach to plantation and milling, striving for unparalleled quality and excellence. While their main varieties are Caturra and Catuai, they also cultivate exotic varieties, including Kenya SL28 (like this lot) and Tipica. The coffee processing methods include fully washed, a range of honeys, and natural. Finca Carrizal is located between two majestic volcanoes Poas and Barva, that dominate the landscape of the Central Valley Region of Costa Rica. Two clear rivers mark its boarders, and the farm sits on a 74-acre plateau with fertile volcanic soil. Surrounded by natural forests and wildlife, it is the perfect spot for their lush coffee plantation. At Finca Carrizal, they maintain a conservation forest that covers 15% of their land. This forest area is meticulously preserved to protect its rich biodiversity. Processing begins with selectively harvesting ripe coffee cherries. These cherries are spread on patios and African drying beds. Once fully dried, the dried fruit is removed, and the turns into green coffee beans; when they had reached the desired moisture content, removed and the beans are sorted, sorted, and allowed to rest to stabilize the moisture and develop their flavors.
