This lot comes to us from Café La Cumbre, a farm in Tarrazu run by 3rd generation coffee producers, Nancy and Minor Jiminez. Café La Cumbre has been producing coffee for 90 years and sits on 38.5 hectares of land at approximately 1650masl. The farm has been passed down for three generations and employs almost three hundred people for harvesting and farm maintenance. Café La Cumbre produces wonderful micro lot coffee. Their coffee has been handpicked by indigenous people for generations, allowing their experience to show from the beginning of the process to the final cup. They carry out every part of the processing at the farm level and utilize a variety of methods, including red honey, washed, and natural. This is a fully washed lot with a clean and sweet cup profile of melon, honey and caramel. This a very approachable coffee that works great in a variety of brew methods.
In order to balance getting your coffee out to you as quickly as possible with freshness of roast we ship all coffee as ordered within one week of the roast date.
In our experience most coffees taste best after at least a few days' rest, and high-quality coffees stay at peak flavor up to six weeks post roast.
