Coffee Origin

Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Costa Rican farmers are known for their tendency to experiment with various post harvest processing method and for planting rare and interesting coffees, such as SL-28 and Geisha. We've been buying our Costa Rican coffees direct from the same producers for several years with the help of Selva coffee.

Processing Method

Honey

The honey process is a middle ground where the skin is removed, but some “mucilage” (the sticky fruit without the skin) is left on the bean during drying. This process bridges the gap between the clarity of a washed coffee and the body of a natural.

Coffee Varietal

Catuai

Developed in Brazil in the 1950s and 60s through a cross between Mundo Novo and Caturra, Catuai was bred for productivity and resilience in harsh weather conditions. It produces compact plants that bear fruit prolifically, making it a practical choice for farmers. While its cup quality is solid and reliable – often displaying a clean, mild sweetness – it rarely reaches the complex heights of older heirloom varietals.
