  • About La Karola Yellow Catuai | Costa Rica

    Our Costa Rican coffees are sourced directly by us from several dedicated, small producers. This stunning microlot comes from our friends at La Karola located in the Tarrazu region. They grow red and yellow catuai, and we asked them to create a microlot from just the yellow catuai cherry. This was hand harvested and very carefully sorted before drying on raised tables in a covered area.

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

Natural

The natural process is the most traditional method, where whole cherries are dried intact in the sun. As the fruit dries around the bean, it imparts a heavy body and intense fruit flavours. When well-executed, it produces a sweet and fruity coffee.
