This is our first coffee from Ramirez Estate and currently our choice to brew to start our day at the roastery. As part of this experimental aged natural process, the coffee cherries are fermented for 18 hours and then dried on raised beds for 21 days until stable. This family-owned estate is extraordinarily socially conscious. They use fermented coffee cherries to produce natural gas, which partially powers their operation. They also donate books and computers to the local schools, and in a more rural areas. They also built and funded a new school preventing small children from having to walk over 15 km each way to class.
