<Story>

LA CANDELILLA is a micromill located at an altitude of 1,500m in the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica.
Founded in 2000, the company is considered a pioneer in the country's specialty coffee industry. In 2015, it installed a state-of-the-art wet mill manufactured by Peñagos, achieving uniformity in the pulp removal process and highly precise quality control. It has also introduced a system that pays extra to pickers who harvest highly ripe cherries, leading to improved harvesting accuracy and working conditions for farmers.

<Purification method>

The harvested cherries are brought in in the afternoon, sorted in a siphon tank, and then pulped. They are then fermented for about half a day to remove the mucilage, and then dried 100% in the sun for about two days on African beds and about seven days on a concrete patio.

< Social Initiative "Casas de la Alegría"

Candelilla donates a portion of its profits to the "Casas de la Alegría Foundation" through Coffee Exparts, which exports green beans. This is a daycare project launched in 2014 by ICAFE and UNICEF that provides education, meals, medical care, and after-school care to the children of seasonal workers and pickers. Currently, 21 facilities have been established in the region, including Tarrazu, where children are supported to learn and grow in a safe environment.
