Finca Rivense FH

Café Rivense is a Costa Rican family business that produces high-quality, sustainable coffee through direct trade. This model enables the Urena family to better control operations, remunerate farmers fairly and focus on quality rather than quantity. They have developed the “Black Honey” method, an ecological coffee drying process that enhances flavor while reducing water use. Historically, the family left agricultural cooperatives to offer greater transparency and traceability. Today, their coffee is sought after by roasters the world over and contributes to local economic development. In addition to protecting a primary forest, their environmental practices are recognized by Costa Rica's Ecological Blue Flag.

Espresso
Citrus, tart berry flavours, a bit acidic for espresso, but would make a great iced pour over.
