Costa Rica Labrador Anaerobic

About This Coffee

This is a coffee from Hacienda San Isidro Labrador in Dota, Costa Rica, in the highlands of the Terrazu region at 1950 meters altitude. It is a blend of Typica, Catuai, and Caturra varietals, processed using anaerobic natural methods. The coffee undergoes tank fermentation in a reduced-oxygen environment and is dried with intermittent shade on raised African beds. The cup profile is sparkling and layered with crisp notes of orange, honeydew melon, and frangipane. The farm has been recognized in the Costa Rican Cup of Excellence competition, notably winning first place in 2023.
