This coffee is from the Alvarado Fonseca Family's Finca El Salitre in the Brunca region of Costa Rica, located at the foot of Cerro Chirripó at 1650-1950 meters altitude. The variety is Milenio F1, a hybrid of Sudan Rume and T5296 known for resilience and exceptional cup quality. The coffee undergoes a unique "natural reposado" processing method where cherries rest in sealed containers for short anaerobic fermentation before being slowly dried on raised beds and patios over several weeks. The Micromill Corazón de Jesús has earned placements in the Cup of Excellence for their experimental processing. Flavor notes include apple, orange, ripe pineapple, passion fruit, quince, spices, cocoa, dark chocolate, and malic acidity.

Felix Teiretzbacher founded kaffeelix in 2012, initially to supply his own café before specializing completely in roasting. His approach is to roast coffees relatively light, a method that highlights the unique characteristics of a bean's origin and processing rather than masking them with roasted notes. This dedication has paid off, with Felix winning the World Coffee Roasting Championship in 2022.
