This coffee is a Catuai variety from Finca La Lia in the Tarrazú region of Costa Rica, grown in the San Lorenzo highlands at 1800 meters altitude. Processed using the white honey method by producers Luis and Oscar Monge, it offers macadamia, nectarine, and oolong flavor notes with layered clarity and depth.
Deaton Pigot co founded Tectonic Coffee Co. in Los Angeles in 2016, drawing on over 25 years of experience in hospitality and coffee across Australia, Ireland, Singapore, and the United States. The roastery uses Loring Smart Roast machines with single burner recirculation technology that reduces energy consumption by roughly 80 percent compared to conventional drum roasters. Pigot visits coffee origins annually to build direct relationships with producers, and single origin selections rotate with an emphasis on traceability. Tectonic was a finalist in the 2020 Sprudge Sprudgie Awards for Notable Roaster and has won recognition at the U.S. Golden Bean Awards.
