About This Coffee

This natural process SL 28 coffee comes from Allan Oveido's Don Joel Micromill in Costa Rica's West Valley, situated at 1600 meters altitude. The beans were carefully selected at peak ripeness, dried for approximately 3 weeks on patios, then hulled and sorted. Known for high phosphoric acid content, this SL 28 variety delivers juicy, mouthwatering characteristics with flavor notes of blackberry, cranberry, orange peel, starfruit, and pickled mango, finishing with chocolate and complexity.
