Costa Rica La Guaca

Costa Rica La Guaca is an exceptional specialty coffee that delights with its intense sweetness, juicy fruitiness, and wonderfully intriguing flavor profile. It comes from the Chirripó region of Costa Rica, where Catuai is grown at elevations of 1,300–1,825 meters above sea level. In the cup, you’ll discover bold notes of ripe plums, natural honey sweetness, and a distinctive, deep rum aroma. Together, they create a rich, multidimensional composition in which juicy fruitiness pairs beautifully with intense sweetness and delicate, liquor-like accents. This coffee has plenty of character, pleasant acidity, and a long, aromatic finish.

The coffee’s remarkable profile comes from Sealed Honey Fermentation, which combines the traditional Honey process with controlled fermentation in a low-oxygen environment. After the skin is removed from the coffee fruit, the beans retain some of the sweet pulp before undergoing drying and fermentation in a sealed environment. This helps develop intense aromas, deepen the coffee’s natural sweetness, and create distinctive notes reminiscent of rum and ripe fruit. It is produced by Café Rivense, a family farm known for experimental processing methods and a commitment to the highest bean quality. Scoring 87 points, Costa Rica La Guaca is an excellent choice for fans of filter coffee seeking bold, intense, and unexpected flavor combinations.
