Tarrazú
This coffee hails from Tarrazú, Costa Rica, known for its lush coffee-growing regions. The bag features a specific farm, El Cedro, which contributes to the unique characteristics of this lot.
Anaerobic Honey
The term `anaerobic honey` refers to a processing method where coffee cherries are fermented in a low-oxygen environment, retaining some of the mucilage during drying. This can enhance the coffee's sweetness and complexity, but the specifics of the producer’s technique can influence the final profile.
In the Cup
Expect notes of floral sweetness and vibrant fruit, common with the Geisha variety. The bag suggests a cup that may have delicate layers reminiscent of jasmine and stone fruits, balanced by a light roast that allows these flavors to shine.
