Description

An iconic coffee from the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica, grown at high altitude by many small producers. Ideal conditions — sunny days, cool nights, and rich soils — allow the fruit to mature slowly, producing dense, expressive beans. Processed using the fully washed method and carefully selected (EP), this coffee delivers a clean, precise cup that’s enjoyable every day.

Profile:

Tasting notes:

Fresh apple notes open the tasting, bringing a juicy, crisp quality. They develop into the sweetness of almond and milk chocolate, with a silky texture and a clean, elegant, slightly indulgent finish.

Ideal for:

Filter methods (V60, Chemex, Kalita), drip coffee makers, French press —
as well as a bright, balanced espresso with soft, refined aromas.

The story:
