Cafe-PihaAbout This Coffee
A farm coffee from the Los Santos region of Costa Rica, grown at 1750–2000 meters altitude by producer Don Alexis Ramirez. The variety is Milenio, an F1 hybrid cross between Sarchimor and Rume Sudan, designed to thrive above 1300 meters. Processed using an extended dark honey method — aerobic fermentation followed by 25 days of slow drying on African beds with a large portion of mucilage retained. The result is a silky texture with creamy sweetness and fruity liveliness. Arabica species, roasted in Bordeaux, France.

Cafe-Piha
Piha runs a proper in house roastery tucked behind its main cafe and aims to roast daily so beans leave as fresh as possible. Founder and head roaster Pierre Guérin selects seasonal lots from Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya and Indonesia and focuses on letting each origin express itself in either espresso or filter. The roastery won recognition at the Global Coffee Awards and has worked closely with producers such as the Frinsa Estate in West Java on natural process lots. They ship retail bags, run educational workshops and treat coffee selection with the same curiosity you might give a good bottle of wine.
