Costa Rica · Central Valley N10° → Roasted in Sapporo 43.06°N

Roaster's note: Green beans travel from origin to our roastery in Sapporo.

From Carrizal in the Alajuela province of Costa Rica's Central Valley. At 1,350–1,400m on rich volcanic soil, producer Carol Svinden grows Caturra here. It is finished as a white honey: dried with only a very thin layer of mucilage left on, a process that skips the heavy ferment of a natural and lifts out clean sweetness alone. Brown sugar and cocoa sweetness meet blood orange and baked apple, with a light floral lift. A cup for an afternoon that's craving something sweet, or to sit alongside dessert.
