Description
Tasting Notes: Plum, Rose, Mandarin Orange, Banana
A 2024 Golden Bean Silver Medalist & 2023 Good Food Award Winner—Finca El Desafio, grown by the Ureñas family, is an outstanding coffee with tropical notes of plum, mandarin orange, and banana plus a sweet floral bouquet. Winner of a 2024 Silver Golden Bean medal and both a 2023 Good Food Award as well as a 2023 Golden Bean Medal, this gem of a coffee keeps collecting accolades.
Known for its intense fruit flavors, this microlot is exclusively made from the unique Villa Sarchí coffee plant varietal. In addition, the full honey processing method, one Cafe Rivenśe is known to have perfected, intensifies the natural sweetness found in the coffee cherries.
Cafe Rivenśe, run by the Ureñas family for three generations, is built around family, innovation, and quality—values our family shares as well. We appreciate all the extra efforts they put into ensuring their coffees are exceptional and that the land is kept pristine.
