Finca Frailes is owned and managed by three lifelong coffee farmers and close friends: Gerardo Calvo, Zaira Marín and William Méndez. Together, they planted coffee here more than 30 years ago, and today they continue to carefully renovate the farm to maintain its health and productivity. Their focus is on two classic Costa Rican varieties: Caturra and Catuaí.
For this special microlot, only exceptionally ripe cherries are selected. The cherries are carefully sorted and floated before being sealed in tanks and fermented anaerobically — without oxygen.…

A further 4 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
