Sourced from the renowned Aquiares Estate in Turrialba, Costa Rica, this single-origin showcase features Mariana—a cutting-edge hybrid cross between Brazil's rust-resistant IAPAR 59 and a sterile Ethiopian landrace variety. Grown at 1,200 MASL, this coffee perfectly bridges agrarian strength with exceptional cup quality. Processed as an Anaerobic Natural, cherries are de-pulped in a traditional "chancador" with all mucilage intact, sun-dried for 2 days on ceramic floors, aged 10 days on African raised beds (28°C–40°C range), and finished with a 1-day mechanical cycle in a Guardiola dryer.
Meticulously roasted by Shelby Merrithew in small batches using a Loring Skyhawk, this lot is optimized for filter brewing. It yields a clean body and sparkling tropical fruit acidity, displaying distinct and vibrant tasting notes of grapefruit, tamarind, and juicy pineapple.
