STiR coffee and tea 53 Dry mill under construction. Vertical dryers with high volume blowers operate at lower temperatures to improve coffee quality. The slender and arched design of the building housing the mill required less structural material. The elongated shape facilitates eventual changes in the posi- tioning of equipment and optimizes the use of space. Larger machines are on the floor level with smaller assets installed above. The concrete floor is covered with a special urethane coating to protect against chemical corrosion, wear, and with light reflectivity that contributes to lower utility bills. Colors demarcate safe pathways and the antibacterial properties of the surface material is greater than conventional coverings. The combination wet mill and dry mill is useful in processing small lots that require different types of preparation. Inside the facility, a stainless steel wet mill guarantees better hygiene during coffee processing. The machinery lowers water consumption and electrical costs. Nearby dry mills efficiently process ripe cherry. Constructed in three layers (each with a capac- ity of 5,000 liters) dryers require three times the airflow but at lower temperatures compared to conventional dryers. Ipanema's specialists assure that this change in their drying routine preserves sensorial profiles of each lot and avoids harm caused by tradi- tional dryers that operate at higher temperatures. Batches are up to 16,000 liters, each from a different microlot, (referred to as glebes, an historical description of the amount of land needed to support a clergyman). These small lots are integral to the harvest strategy.
