About This Coffee

This coffee is a single-estate micro-lot from the Los Santos region of Costa Rica, grown adjacent to Tapantì National Park at 1750 meters altitude on the Don Alexis farm (Los Campos micro-mill), managed by the Ramirez-Navarro family. It features the Esperanza variety, an F1 hybrid of Sarchimor T-5296 and wild Ethiopia ET-25. Processed using an innovative aerobic thermal natural method — whole cherries fermented at 40–45°C before 30-day sun drying — it delivers a creamy, syrupy body with cherry, blood orange, and winey notes, medium-high acidity, and extreme sweetness. GCB Score: 88.50 points.

Garage Coffee Bros

Brothers Davide and Andrea Cobelli founded Garage Coffee Bros in early 2019 in Verona, combining Davide's professional specialty coffee training background with Andrea's engineering expertise in Industry 4.0 to build a roastery where artisanship meets technology. Davide won the 2020 Italian Coffee Roasting Championship, bringing competitive credibility to an operation that provides cupping scores and detailed tasting notes for every coffee it sells. The roastery also operates a Coffee Training Academy, extending the brothers' commitment to education beyond the roaster and into the broader Italian specialty community. Their flagship store in the heart of Verona's city center offers a cozy space staffed by knowledgeable baristas, serving coffees roasted with specific profiles for different brew methods. Garage Coffee Bros' name combines Davide's two passions, coffee and cars, and the operation's emphasis on respect for the supply chain, environmental responsibility, innovation, and fresh crop sourcing makes it one of the Veneto region's most principled specialty roasters.
