This coffee is a Catuai variety from the Alto el Vapor farm, located in the Santa Maria de Dota region of Tarrazu, Costa Rica, at an altitude of 1,900 meters. It is a natural processed coffee that offers a complex and balanced cup. The flavor profile features vibrant notes of raspberry, lemon, and brown sugar, with a pointed lemon acidity that mellows into red fruit and dark sugar characteristics.
