About This Coffee

From the family-run Ivan Solís Micro-mill in the Los Santos region of Costa Rica, this microlot showcases an innovative take on natural processing. After selective cherry picking, the coffee undergoes anaerobic fermentation with mossto, a sweet pulp concentrate from previously fermented batches, before drying under the sun. The result is a complex and juicy cup with vibrant berry notes, milk chocolate, and a zesty citrus pop.
