Costa Rica | Coope Tarrazu

This single origin coffee comes from the Tarrazu region in Costa Rica, from the Hacienda Cafetalera estate which is part of the Coopetarrazu (Cooperative Tarrazu). It is grown at 1450-1600 meters above sea level and features Caturra and Catuai varieties. The coffee undergoes anaerobic natural processing where cherries are picked at peak ripeness, pulped, and sealed in steel fermentation tanks for 4 days before being dried on raised African drying beds until reaching 11.2% moisture content. This is an SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) coffee with flavor notes of cinnamon, star anise, and prune, offering high sweetness with a light body. The cooperative operates social initiatives including Las Casas de La Algeria, a childcare center for workers' children.
