About This Coffee

This coffee is from Finca Carmela, a 3-hectare farm in Costa Rica's Alajuela province at 1,600 meters altitude, located in Grecia and San Luis regions. The Typica variety is processed using the White Honey method, combining elements of natural and washed processes with light mucilage retention. The beans are dried slowly on raised African beds for 10-14 days. The cup displays citrus zest, pomelo, and orange with warm caramel, fresh mandarin juice, subtle pear, honey, and white peach notes with a smooth, lively texture.
