How do we feel about this coffee

A Kenyan from Costa Rica?!? This super coffee is the best of two origins. It’s reminiscent of a Kenyan style of coffee, with a vibrant acidity from the SL 28. Still, because it’s grown in the West Valley in Costa Rica and processed via the yellow honey method, there is so much rich depth and layers to the sweetness!! It feels deeply rich, creamy and sweet, showcases like fresh apricots, a golden delicious apple sprinkled with honey and a homemade Dulce de Leche on the finish.

Coffee Story
This yellow honey-processed SL 28 variety comes from producer Ricardo Perez’s' farm Santa Lucia. It is processed at his family-owned micro-mill, Helsar de Zarcero, which we have worked with for over nine years. The trees were planted about five years ago, and this is the third harvest that Ricardo has gotten from them and our second year purchasing!!

Once harvested, this coffee goes through a centrifugal washer that spins the mucilage off the bean allowing control over the amount of fruit or “honey” left on the seed during the drying phase of processing. The yellow honey leaves approx 25 to 50% of the fruit mucilage or honey during fermentation.

What is the Super Series?
We're launching a Super Series of coffee releases that feature; wait for it…Super Coffees!! Whether it's the variety, processing style or another characteristic, all the coffees released under this moniker are a little extra special, exciting or notable in some way that we want to tell you about. There usually will be a limited supply.
