This natural-processed Caturra coffee is from Finca Don José in Costa Rica's Central Valley region, specifically from the Heredia sub-region. Grown at 1400-1800 meters altitude, the cherries are delivered to the Brumas del Zurqui micromill, managed by fourth-generation coffee producer Juan Ramon Alvarado Rodriguez and his family. The coffee features tasting notes of rainbow candy, orange jelly, and biscoff cookie. Roasted to a medium-light level (Agtron 91).
Wasatch Roasting Company was founded in 2016 by Darren and Tonya Blackford after a trip to Costa Rica sparked their fascination with small scale coffee roasting. What started with a tabletop roaster has grown into an in house roasting operation in downtown Ogden, Utah, where the Blackfords roast specialty grade beans in small batches. The company sources from producers and importers who prioritize sustainable practices and fair compensation. Wasatch also doubles as a community gathering space, featuring rotating gallery exhibitions and work by local artists and artisans throughout the shop.
