Grown in the cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica, this coffee develops complex flavors through slow ripening in cool temperatures beneath natural shade trees. It is honey processed at Santa Elena Beneficio, where the outer cherry skin is removed and beans are dried with mucilage intact. The varied mucilage amounts influence the coffee's sweetness and fruity characteristics. Medium roast with tasting notes of brown sugar, honeysuckle, and pie cherry.
