The estate is divided into two main sections, Monte Lourdes (28 hectares) and Monte Llano Bonito (40 hectares), with multiple farms within each. El Kinkajou, located in Monte Lourdes, is named after the small wild animal often seen on the farm. Over the past eight years, approximately 6,000 SL28 Kenya plants have been cultivated here. The cherries were harvested fully ripe, rested and fermented for three days under the shade, and then, after depulping, rested for another three days in fermentation tanks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSan Roque is a mutation of the SL28 variety, originally developed in Kenya but first occurring in Costa Rica. It shares SL28’s bright fruit acidity, rich sweetness, and spicy complexity, making it popular among Costa Rican coffee producers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eThe coffee was harvested in 2024 and arrived at Bean \u0026amp; Bean’s roastery in September 2024.
