Pura Vida

Tarrazú is the most prestigious coffee-producing region of Costa Rica. Highland coffee is the main source of income for local people in this region.

This coffee is sourced from Diego Hidalgo at Microbeneficio La Bandera in San José, Tarrazú. Not only is Diego operating La Bandera, his own micromill where he processes coffees, but he is also managing and growing over 10 separate lots of coffee on his farm, called Aquas Buenas. He has an extremely deep understanding of the microclimate on his mountainside, which sits in a tropical cloud forest, allowing for the correct balance of temperature shifts, moisture, and air flow. Additionally, Diego has a vast avocado crop, which is not only a cash crop, but serves as a natural umbrella to the coffee shrubs during the rainy season, which avoids erosion of the soil, as well as providing shade during the dry season.

The resulting cup reminds us of caramel, fudge & raspberry.
