raw green bean Green coffee is raw Roast prior to consumption

Ramirez Estate Bio: In the Dominican Republic, the family-owned Ramirez Estate run by the third generation employs over 400 workers who live and work on the property and make nearly 300% higher wages than Fair Trade Standard. Before the Ramirez family purchased the land in the early 1990s, the land was impotent and bare––natural water springs had long since dried up and farmers had only been raising cattle.

Today, the Ramirez Estate is one of the most environmentally-progressive and socially-conscious proprietorships in the world because they recycle materials used during coffee bean processing. First, coffee cherry parts that would normally be thrown out are converted into natural gas through fermentation––in turn, this natural gas powers their facility. Next, the used water is also recycled, filtered, and returned to water systems. Lastly, cherry pulps are added to a compost pile where they’re used as fertilizer useful to nearby farms.

In addition to creating exceptional coffee, the Ramirez Estate also gives back to its community in countless ways. By building schools in rural areas, local children no longer have to walk nearly twenty miles a day, and after donating books and computers, students have more opportunities to learn. The Ramirez Estate also allows other farmers in the Dominican Republic to use their processing plant to assist in coffee export.

The pictures seen on our website are part of our personal experience touring the estate and meeting the Ramirez family––they are humble, honest, and produce some of the highest-scoring coffees we carry.

Natural: This Ramirez Estate bean is naturally-processed coffee grown in the Jarabacoa region of the Dominican Republic (which is 1,400 meters above sea level). Its fruit is left on the bean without disturbance for weeks on end, allowing ample time for fermentation. Once separated at a mill, the beans are dried with rotating dryers. The notes are fruity, but not overwhelming.

Cupping notes: Smooth and low in acid, with a creamy body. Aromas and tasting notes of almonds, walnuts, and chocolate.

Roasted to full city+ on my Bullet w/ Tfinish@207degC and have excellent full bodied and chocolatey nutty results! Rested 3-6 days, med-fine grind, 40g/L, drip maker. I'm surprised to enjoy this even more than the honey process version (...also outstanding!).

This is the third Dominican coffee I have ordered from Coffee Bean Corral and so far this is my favorite. I roast my coffee light, looks kind of like a brown paper bag in color. Even roasted that lightly, it still has a really nice chocolaty flavor. I might even say it's slightly sweet like the sweetness you would find in a good rum. The other coffee I roast is an Ethiopian, which is more complex than any Dominican I have roasted. I like the Dominican coffee because it's a nice alternative to Ethiopian coffee. The Dominican is Chocolatey, a little sweet, and a nice, clean, coffee flavor (even roasted light).

If you're alone ok. If you have friends over and make this coffee, they'll down/ dry it up real fast.

I bought a 10lb bag and several had coffee borer beetle holes. It’s ok if it was just a few but there were to many to count. Coffee Coral graciously refunded my money. Please check out coffee bean to make sure there no tiny holes in them. If you see one, the whole bag of bean is ruined.

Please note, I am new to roasting so it could be my technique but this coffee exhibited fermented fruit smell and taste. Come to think of it, fruit cake would be the exact description I would use. I roasted it Full City (very dark, into the second crack, but the beans did not smoke or show oils). Bottom line, the fruitcake taste really showed through on espresso making the shots unpalatable and adding milk made it worse. However, in a French Press that fermented fruit flavor was almost pleasant still not particularly to my liking but I can see how someone else might like it.

Am really enjoying this coffee. I do cold brew and this bean really shines. I also have been experimenting with lighter roasts. I did this one to about a minute into the first crack. Coarse ground and then soaked in water for 24 to 36 hours it creates an elixir that I heat 1/2 cup in my mug and then fill with hot water. The taste is fantastic with no additives. I like black coffee so if you ever saw me adding anything to a mug you would know it is lousy coffee, (think Starbucks). :-)

Very fruit forward. I will roast a little more next time and see if that fruitiness diminishes a little. If you love fruity coffee you’ll love this one!

Not a fan. There was strong odd odor even through the shipping bag. I will experiment with them as a blend bean. Otherwise they will be tossed or for something else besides coffee. First big disappointment. That said CBC is my go-to green bean resource.

This is the best coffee I've ever had. We roasted it just a few seconds into second crack and let it rest for a day. It had very little astringency or acidify. It had a wonderful aroma with dark chocolate flavors. Such a joy to drink.

With in my top 10 choices, roasted full city plus on the verge of second crack. Full body, not too floral, excellent everyday coffee great for blending.

Very good. Not as strong as I expected, but very good flavor. Definitely better as a dark roast.
