This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated, and hand-sorted to remove any defects. Cherries were then exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment was then gently washed and then dried in temperature-controlled conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved.

This microlot is 100% Caturra. This variety originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a natural mutation of Red Bourbon. Caturra produces more coffee and is more resistant to plant diseases than Bourbon.

The remuneration standards are regulated by the Ministry of Labor and the Costa Rican Coffee Institute (ICAFE), ensuring decent working conditions for all our workers. This commitment to fair treatment and high standards not only supports the workers but also upholds the quality and integrity of our coffee.
