Raul Rodriguez, a third-generation coffee producer, owns and operates the farm and lives there happily with his wife and three dogs. He inherited this farm from his father, Don Ermenegildo Rodriguez—one of the biggest coffee innovators of his time.  The well-defined seasons in this region contribute to the high quality of specialty coffees. The rainy season results in beautiful cherries, and the clear, dry season allows the producers to sun-dry their coffee once it is washed. The high altitude, richness of the clay, soil, and warmth of the sun ensure that the integrity and quality of the beans are preserved from beginning to end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAs a coffee producer, Raul Rodgriguez is always pushing for better quality coffee and better quality of life for his workers.\u003c\/strong\u003e His farm employs around 75 pickers during coffee harvest season and 15 permanent workers that live on the farm with their families. As a socially conscious coffee producer, Raul pays his workers the highest salaries in the region, and his new farm, Santa Lucia Reserve, is certified organic and a habitat for many birds, including his favorite—the Toucan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThis Gesha undergoes a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewashed process\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e,\u003c\/b\u003e beginning with the careful selection of ripe coffee cherries before the outer fruit is removed.
