Alt Wien Kaffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is sourced from Costa Rica and produced by Don Luis Campos, a pioneer in anaerobic fermentation. The coffee cherries are harvested fully ripe at 26°Brix and undergo anaerobic fermentation in temperature and pH-controlled steel tanks for 18 to 23 hours. The Caturra/Catuai varieties are combined with the mucilage from two other Arabica sub-varieties - Villalobos and Yellow Catuai - during fermentation. This process creates intense cinnamon spice aromas along with apple and sour cherry notes. The coffee develops intensive, spicy, and sweet cinnamon aromas, with significant fruit acidity. Optimized for filter brewing but also works as espresso.
