Las Lajas Catigua - Costa Rica Espresso

Auf dem Cupping-Tisch schmecken wir eine intensive Süße von reifen Kirschen, eine zitrische mittlere Säure. Das Mundgefühl ist weich, mit einem anhaltenden, reichen Nachgeschmack mit einem Anklang an Macadamia und Karamell.

The Las Lajas Catigua, sourced from Costa Rica and roasted by 19grams, offers a distinct profile centered on the Catigua varietal. This specific lot presents a flavor experience defined by ripe cherries, macadamia nut, and caramel. When exploring such profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the sweetness of the caramel and the nuanced fruit notes.

While the Catigua varietal is often noted for its resilience and specific cup characteristics, the final expression in the cup is heavily influenced by the processing methods employed at the farm level. Coffees from this region are frequently celebrated for their balance, often bridging the gap between traditional nutty undertones and vibrant, fruit-forward acidity. This espresso-focused roast highlights the inherent qualities of the bean, providing a structured and approachable cup that showcases the meticulous work of the producers at Las Lajas.
