It’s crazy to think that it’s been nearly 13 years since we began working with Ricardo Perez and his famous mill: Helsar. Helsar is a quality focused wet mill that historically produces three types of coffees. The first is a blend of producers from the region – a blend they call “Helsar”. The second are small lots separated by producer. And the third are very small lots from Ricardo’s farm Santa Lucia, separated by variety and processing method. Normally, we buy the latter two types of coffees: partner farmers who work with Helsar, and special processing variety lots from Ricardo’s farm.
