Roberto Mata's family has been working with coffee for several generations and currently, in addition to managing his own farms, he is also responsible for processing the coffee of many local smallholders. He founded his own company, M y M Pura Vida, in 2018 after successfully leading the CoopeDota cooperative to the international market. M y M boasts a number of innovative processing methods, one of which is the Juicy process used in our current batch. The 72-hour anaerobic fermentation of coffee cherries is started with the coffee juice of a previous fermentation and then finished with a slowly and evenly dried natural or honey process.
