April- Sustainable Profile Coffee - Costa Rica

🌱 Origin & Farm

Grown in the fertile highlands of Costa Rica, this lot reflects the country’s heritage of sustainable, high-quality coffee production. Cultivated at elevations between 1,400 and 1,800 meters above sea level, the farm balances traditional agriculture with modern ecological practices. With extensive native forest preservation and biodiversity corridors, the environment is protected while yielding exceptional coffees.

The producers emphasize soil regeneration, water conservation, and minimal chemical use—creating a resilient farming model rooted in both quality and environmental care.

🌾 Varietal & Processing

Featuring a high-performing heirloom or hybrid variety (often Caturra, Catuai, or SL28), this coffee is fully washed using Costa Rica’s signature clean water systems. The mucilage is thoroughly removed before drying, resulting in a cup with high clarity and defined character. The careful fermentation and drying processes enhance complexity while preserving balance.

🍽️ Tasting Profile & Cup Notes

A bright and structured cup with layers of citrus, red fruits, and delicate florals. Expect notes of mandarin orange, raspberry, and cane sugar, supported by a crisp acidity and silky mouthfeel. Hints of jasmine and cocoa add finesse, while a clean finish leaves a sweet and refreshing aftertaste. A well-rounded profile that’s both vibrant and elegant.

🎯 Roasting & Brewing

Roasted with a focus on sweetness and clarity, typically using a light to light-medium profile with a controlled development time to enhance complexity and mouthfeel.

Recommended V60 Recipe:

• Dose: 15g

Also performs beautifully in flat-bed or immersion brewers with minor adjustments to grind and flow.
