Esmeralda Special Auction Info

Batch: On any given date during our coffee harvest, the coffee cherries are picked and transported to the processing plant or beneficio in a group (together). This coffee is then processed together (depulped) and dried together. We call this group of coffee a Batch. Each Batch is stored separately and kept in jute bags in our warehouse until it’s time to hull (remove the parchment), sort and ship.

Auction Lot: The coffee within each Batch is divided into 300 pound Auction Lots
