Description

The Ramirez Estate is run by a third generation family who employs over 400 workers who live and work on the property and make nearly 300% higher wages than Fair Trade Standard. The Ramirez family purchased the property in the early 1990s, when the land was bare and farmers had only been using it to raise cattle.

Today, the estate is one of the most environmentally progressive proprietorships in the world. They recycle materials used during coffee bean processing like the “cherry” parts which would normally be thrown out, get converted into natural gas through fermentation which is then used to power their facility. The used water is also recycled, filtered and returned to water systems. Lastly, the cherry pulps are added to a compost pile where they’re used as fertilizer for nearby farms.

Notes: Sweet undertones of butter, cream & nuts with a sweet vanilla soy milk finish .
