Costa Rican Coffee at it’s Finest

This dry, natural process coffee is a juxtaposition of a wild and a classic cup. It has an outstanding, fruity sweetness and an effervescent acidity. It evokes childhood memories of lemonade and blueberry hand pies. Hawaiian punch by the pool in the summertime. Dark roasted cocoa beans. Honeysuckle flowers.

This San Isidro 48 is a vivacious pour over with plenty of sugariness or acidity to accentuate depending on your recipe. Long blooms and high volume pulse pours on the V60 brought out acidity reminiscent of green apple, candied citrus peel, and sweet Lambrusco. Short blooms and quick pulses gave us sticky sweet berries and rich, syrupy chocolate tones. There is a subtle leguminous and nougaty flavor underneath.

We’ve had a lot of fun cold brewing this for an exotic nitro. It’s been a blast surprising friends and family with it this summer. Everyone has fun trying to guess what it was in the brew. An empty keg every time.

The acidity is almost over the top as a single origin espresso. Some of us loved it and some hated it as a blonde espresso. It’s definitely worth a try if you’re a fan of pouring your espresso into a tonic water or seltzer. Get ready for a fun and fruity profile, especially if your drinking it straight.

Costa Rica Coffee Beans from Hacienda Sonora

Hacienda Sonora Estate has been in Alberto’s family for more than a Century. In the 1970’s when Alberto took over the farm he began planting the majority of the land with coffee and shortly after it became the main source of income. In 1999, with historical low coffee prices, Alberto invested in a Mill to maximize his quality. He then became a pioneer in alternative processing techniques at the time such as Honey and Naturals.

Experimental process coffees like this one are relatively rare from this region as the climate is typically cool and humid making anaerobic, natural and honey type processing difficult to accomplish.

This is a coffee unlike other Costa Rica coffees because it has berries, dark chocolate, and stewed fruit flavors in the cup. We relish the unique sensation of it all coming together in this long lasting palate. What a rare and exceptional treat.
