Vista Al Chirripo

Taste Story

This funky and creamy lot from Costa Rica is a delight to sip. It opens with tropical fruit vibes like pineapple, mango and papaya. Throughout the entire sip is a winey like punch of flavor that keeps your palette guessing. Underneath it all is a creamy body reminiscent of sweet coconut. This is a wonderful lot that will provide you an adventurous brewing experience. 

Processing Journey

The beans undergo a full honey process, think of it as a hybrid of traditional washed and natural process coffees. The cherries are depulped and a fair amount of mucilage remains on the coffee seed. As it dries it turns a darker hue, so it’s also known as black honey. After this honey process the coffee is fermented in sealed bags for around eight days.After the fermentation process it is dried in a static mechanical dryer. This process delivers a coffee with a unique sweetness and unforgettable aroma.
