It is owned by José Gomez, who has been growing coffee in this region for the past 20 years, and operated by his son, who has the same name. The farm grows coffee alongside other crops such as corn, potatoes and tomatoes, and employs 15 workers. Harvest here is between April and May and the cherries, once picked, are taken to Beneficio La Esperanza for processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eAt the wet mill, the cherries are loaded into large tanks. Low-density floaters are siphoned off to be processed separately. Samples of the high-density cherries are taken to be measured before depulping. This density measurement dictates the fermentation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eThe cherries are run through depulpers, a crib and then into fermentation tanks. Fermentation generally takes between 12 and 36 hours depending on the density of the cherry, amount of coffee in the tank and, of course, the coffee itself. Beneficio La Esperanza is equipped with 12 tanks and the building is temperature controlled to ensure a consistent environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eOnce fermentation is complete, the coffee is washed and moved in water channels to the pre-dryers. These do an initial wicking away of moisture from the coffee and aid in the consistency of the drying phase. The coffee is then moved to one of the two large concrete drying patios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eDrying takes between 10 and 21 days, depending on the coffee and its intended purpose. Parchment is continuously moved on the patio to ensure even drying, and adjustments are made based on the coffee and the weather conditions. When it reaches the designated moisture percentage, it is moved to mechanical dryers to be finished. Here the moisture levels are fine tuned \u0026amp; the coffee is usually in the dryers for no more than three hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Social Hour Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"227g","offer_id":49490180997467,"sku":null,"price":12.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG","offer_id":49490181030235,"sku":null,"price":34.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0854\/6435\/1067\/files\/Guatemala_-_4.png?v=1790199879","url":"https:\/\/www.socialhourcoffee.uk\/products\/golden-hour-guatemala-la-bendicion","provider":"Social Hour Coffee Roasters UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
