This is a bespoke micro-lot that we helped to process and is based on a method of producing washed coffee that we've found to be common in Rwanda and Kenya but seldom found in central and south America.
We are super excited to be sourcing our Costa Rican Tarrazu coffees directly. We source our Costa Rican coffees directly in partnership with Selva Coffee, a small exporter representing a select group of coffee producers that we visited in February 2020.
These producers are located in the West Valley, Central Valley, and Tarrazu region of Costa Rica. You can read more about our direct trade coffees in our Transparency Report.
This stunning washed coffee comes from the Manzanal farm owned by the Montero family. Carlos Montero has been producing fantastic coffees from his own farms for many years and was one of the pioneers of the small independent micro mill. Carlos bought his first farm after saving up working in restaurants in the USA. He first worked as a member of a local co-operative selling coffee cherry to be processed as part of a regional blend. Ten years ago he set up his own mill that now produces fantastic natural, honey, and washed coffees under the family name. Carlos has three children, Marianela, Jacob and Maria Jose. Marianela is the co-founder of Selva coffee and Jacob is in charge of post-harvest processing.
This is a great example of an extended ferment coffee that shows more complexity than most Costa Rican washed coffees. Post-harvest fermentation can make a significant positive contribution to the final flavours found within the coffee. In Costa Rica producers tend to focus on honey and natural processed coffees. Washed coffees are often produced using low water methods with no or little post-harvest fermentation. The Don Eli micro mill benefits from the supply of fresh spring water and they are able to process washed coffees using methods more often found in Africa. This bespoke micro lot tastes quite different with wonderful notes of caramel, honey and a hint of sweet lemon.
This coffee works well for all brew methods.
Filter: Dose 15g, water 250g.
Espresso: Dose 17 gram to 40 gram yield over about 30 seconds.
This coffee is available as whole bean and pre-ground, but we recommend always grinding fresh before brewing. We sell a range of grinders if you would like to grind this coffee fresh at home.

a very good coffee
I really hope we see something like this again, because this now out of stock coffee was our absolute favourite thing to drink. I know I'll love anything that says "red apple" and this is no exception: gentle, crisp sweet apple acidity (not at all acidic, for those like me who don't like sharpness), a rich and really special unctuousness in the mid body (the date notes mentioned), and the barest hint of deep milk chocolate bitterness (soft and not harsh). Spectacular. Sad to see it go!
I’m yet to be disappointed by any of the coffee From Horsham, surely best in class.
Extremely; sweet and clean Costa Rican
