ORIGIN STORY

From exclusive micro-lots in San Ramón, Costa Rica

This coffee comes from carefully selected micro-lots in Costa Rica’s West Valley, a region recognized for producing coffees with outstanding sweetness and balance.

Cultivated between 1,200–1,500 meters above sea level, these SHB Arabica beans develop slowly, creating greater density and complexity in the cup.

PROCESS & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Honey Process • Sun Dried • Carefully Roasted

Unlike traditional washed coffees, the Honey Process allows part of the coffee cherry mucilage to remain during drying, naturally enhancing sweetness, body and complexity.

The beans are slowly sun-dried to develop their characteristic notes of fruit, chocolate and caramelized sweetness.
