About this coffee
What the roaster tells us.
This lot comes from the Bonilla family’s Don Mayo micro mill in Tarrazú, Costa Rica, grown at about 1,900 meters on the farm that won first place in Costa Rica’s 2009 Cup of Excellence. The cherries ferment without oxygen before drying, which pushes the cup toward tropical fruit: mango, passion fruit and tamarind, with low acidity. Lardera roasts it light, and it’s rated 4.6 out of 5 from 57 reviews.

About coffee from Costa Rica
Costa Rica is known for its micro-mills, where small farms process their own coffee, and for helping popularize the honey process. Regions like Tarrazú and the West Valley produce clean, sweet, bright coffees.
What the process means
Anaerobic coffees are fermented in sealed tanks with little or no oxygen before drying. The method usually produces intense, winey, very fruity flavors.
