Las Torres de Chirripo
Taste Story
From the Chirripo mountain region of Costa Rica comes this clean and round full honey processed coffee. Tropical flavors abound in this one, from mango to lychee. Those tropical sensations are balanced by grape and dark berry flavors. The body offers a nice creaminess for a nuanced cup of coffee.
Why Honey?
Honey processing is named for the sticky mucilage that remains left on the coffee cherry after processing. This process imparts wonderful flavors but also helps conserve water.
