How do we feel about this coffee

It feels deeply sweet, balanced, and buttoned up, like peanut brittle, a chocolate wafer, and enjoying a butter croissant for lunch while OOO early to head to your 4 p.m. tee time.

Coffee Story
Our third annual Coffeemania winning coffee is a classic white honey processed Costa Rican coffee with sugary-sweet aromatic florals and a dense sweetness grown in the Santa María de Dota Valley in the Tarrazú region of Costa Rica, by the Calderon family on their farm, Los Girasoles. Los Girasoles comes to us from the award-winning Calderon family, working in the Dota Valley in Tarrazu for three generations. We have been working with this family for over 11 years, and their coffees have become a mainstay on our annual single-origin lineup. Over the years, we have seen the quality of their coffees increase, garnering widespread recognition and winning them multiple awards. We have also seen their increasing success as they have expanded to own multiple farms, their micro mill and even a small roastery in the corner of their warehouse where they have begun roasting and distributing their coffee to local cafés, offering the farm-to-cup experience.

About the Honey Process
Rather than fermenting under water and removing the mucilage by washing it clean from the parchment, the Calderon family uses a mechanical demucilage to release a specific amount before drying. In general, as the amount of mucilage left on the parchment increases, so does the colour of the honey, which progresses from white (the least amount of mucilage) to black (the most amount of mucilage). The honey process happens as the sugars from the mucilage react with the environment over time throughout the different stages of the drying process. This creates a sticky layer on the outside of the parchment that is reminiscent of honey!
