Context
Produced by the Ureña Rojas family in the Chirripó region of Costa Rica, the Finca La Catarata Black Honey is a standout example of the Red Catuai varietal. This lot is processed using the Black Honey method, a technique that leaves a significant portion of the coffee cherry’s mucilage intact during drying. Generally, honey-processed coffees are celebrated for balancing the sweetness and body of natural-processed beans with the clean acidity often found in washed coffees.
Roasted by Abracadabra Coffee Co., this specific selection highlights a distinct profile featuring notes of Grape Tootsie Pop, raspberry jam, and brownies. When evaluating these complex characteristics, drinkers may find it helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify the nuances inherent in this high-elevation harvest. The combination of the family’s meticulous processing and the unique microclimate of Chirripó results in a cup that is both indulgent and deeply expressive.
