<Story>

In 2008, Los Angeles Mill was facing financial difficulties due to the sluggish coffee market. In an attempt to somehow escape this situation, Los Angeles started by establishing a micromill with the aim of producing coffee with added value and delivered directly by the producers.

At that time, he was working day and night to design the mill, produce high-quality coffee, and improve the farm while collecting funds from his relatives and siblings. Then, in 2011, the third year, he won the Cup of Excellence, and his efforts were rewarded.

After winning the COE, Los Angeles continued to steadily improve and stabilize the quality of its coffee, trying new farmland and varieties, and purchased the Don Caito Farm in 2013. At the time, this land, located at an altitude of 2,000m, was said to be unsuitable for coffee production, and the owner at the time, Eddie Fallas (Faramy Farm), had no idea what to do with the land.

At the time, there were only a few Catuai trees planted in the area, which was overgrown with avocado and banana trees. Ricardo realized that the extreme temperature differences and mountain breezes in this area would surely produce coffee with a great flavor, and he began to focus on making this a model farm for producing the highest quality coffee for Los Angeles Mill.

While preparing the farm, they started producing high-value-added varieties such as Villalobos, Kenya, Typica Mehorado, and Geisha. In 2017, Don Cajito Geisha was exhibited at the COE and won third place. This had a big impact on the market. The following year, in 2018, Don Cajito Geisha won first place.

The production of exotic varieties was started in order to escape poverty and make an impact on the coffee market. Don Caito Farm not only produces coffee with the most amazing flavor, but also strongly reflects the Los Angeles philosophy, making it one of the farms that truly symbolizes Los Angeles.

<Typica Mejorado>

Typica Mejorado is not an academically classified variety classification, but as the name Mejorado suggests, it was named after a superior Typica variety.

In the early 2010s, Calderon acquired a variety that was being sold in the region as Geisha at the time, but as the tree grew, he discovered that it was actually a Typica, not a Geisha. However, because the production volume was better than Typica (and of course Geisha), he named it Mejollado, and the first harvest was in the 2015/16 crop. The flavor characteristics are reminiscent of Geisha, with a jasmine-like flavor, but also a thick mouthfeel, and full-scale production began. At the time, production began at the Ruben Farm, located at an altitude of 1,800-1,900m, but later production also began at the Dom Caito Farm, fully demonstrating the potential of Typica Mejollado.

<Production cost (per 150g)>

① Direct material cost:
The cost of materials allows you to directly gauge how much it costs to produce roasted beans.

The direct material cost rate for these beans (direct material cost ÷ list price × 100) is 39.3% .
②Indirect material costs:
The cost of materials, which cannot be directly calculated as the amount required to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Teeth and rubber parts of a seal cutter ③ Direct labor costs:
Labor costs are a direct measure of how much it costs to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Salaries paid to employees involved in production such as roasting and putting roasted beans into bags. 4) Indirect labor costs:
Labor costs are not directly measured in terms of how much it costs to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Salaries paid to employees not involved in manufacturing, such as clerical work ⑤ Direct expenses:
An expense that directly determines how much it cost to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Expenses incurred when outsourcing some of the manufacturing-related processing, such as putting roasted beans into bags, to an external company. 6. Indirect expenses:
Expenses that cannot be directly measured in terms of how much it cost to produce roasted beans.
(Example) Electricity/gas costs used for roasting, depreciation costs for the roaster, electricity costs for storing green beans at low temperatures
