About Don Eli Double Washed | Costa Rica
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.
Coffee was hand-harvested from trees at high altitudes on the farm located at 1900-2000masl. This is one of the highest farms in Costa Rica and benefits from fantastic soil and a stable climate.
Coffee was fermented over night and in the morning pulped to remove the outer layer of fruit. It was then fermented in a large tank for 24 hours. After fermentation the coffee was washed with cold spring water and once clean fermented again in cold water over night.
This process has created a fantastic washed coffee with tasting notes that include plum, date and brown sugar. -

I’ve been enjoying this as a pour over. Tastes like plum and a hint of fermented red fruit. Very balanced too.
Amazing coffee, fruity, sweet and smooth tasting!!!!
I really enjoy this coffee, especially brewing it over a v60. Beans were a relatively consistent size and they had a nice, even roast. I went back online to buy more but it was sold out! Looking forward to it's return.
Thanks, guys! I'm enjoying a great cup of coffee right now. It tastes great both lungo and cappuccino )
This coffee is excellent and from such kind, generous people.
This is very smooth and rounded but not enough depth for me as my wake up coffee ,very pleasant after lunch .
a very good coffee
The first Costa Rica was an amazing experience every cup of the way. These beans smell the same but they are nowhere near that experience. I wonder why?
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.
This purchase was given away as a Christmas gift therefore it's not possible for me to offer a review
Extremely; sweet and clean Costa Rican
Clean washed beans from Costa Rica, very recommended for filter coffee, hot and cold.
I'm a near-beginner at this coffee lark, but I'm very much enjoying the La Pastora beans. So much so that I've ordered another couple of bags! Double espresso with about an equal volume of warm milk, for me.
This is a great coffee! I’ve been using it for espresso based drinks and it’s delicious. It’s milk chocolatey with a hint of sweet fruit. I’ve yet to try it with a V60, but I’m looking forward to it! I would definitely recommend this 😁
Tremendous selection of fantastic coffee with lots of options. Very efficient pick, pack and dispatch is in place so I am very pleased with the overall service an quality !
A lovely coffee but I found it quite hard to dial in for espresso. Really clean and fresh.
Really lovely coffee, great taste. Very nice 😁
