＜Story＞

In recent years, the West Valley region has been producing a succession of COE winners. Elvas Micro Mill, located at an altitude of 1,500m in the West Valley, famous for producing high-quality coffee, is one of the most prestigious mills in the West Valley, with its Leoncio farm coming in second in 2012 and first in 2015 with the SL28 variety, which it had spent eight years cultivating. The farm boasts outstanding production techniques and is one of the most prestigious mills in the West Valley.

The Barrantes family has been growing coffee for over 50 years. They are pioneers of the Costa Rican micro-mill revolution, having built their own Elvas Micro Mill in 2001. Since then, they have been producing, processing and drying their own coffee, and are one of the producers of excellent honey coffee. They are also very particular about the compatibility and compatibility of the variety with the soil, and by taking special care, such as the spacing between trees, the amount of fertilizer, and organic, chemical and foliage fertilizer, although it is costly, they have achieved stable yields and quality every year.
