THE STORY

This is a single farm microlot from Finca La Naciente, produced by Regulo Urena Chacon and the Urena family who have been harvesting since 2005.  Their farm is located in the Rivas district of the Chirripo region, Tarrazu. The growing altitude ranges from 1350 – 1825 masl, and includes varietals red catuai, yellow catuai, and caturra.

What makes this coffee super special is the processing method used. This is a black honey process coffee, which means the coffee seed (bean) is depulped, but the mucilage layer remains. Then, the coffee is dry fermented IN THE SHADE, which is very unique. The coffee ferments over the course of two weeks rather than two or three days. The resultant cup is super fruity, with fermented effervescent character. It’s awesome.
