Cerro Buena Vista

After the continuous success of this coffee, we are privileged to offer it again! In recent years, the young producers of the Brunca region in Costa Rica are starting to push the potential of the coffee here, and the results are great to see. The Catuai trees here were planted in new soil, so they could be placed in the formations to avoid erosion and capture more sunlight. This lot goes through Red Honey process, where the majority of the fruit is left on the beans throughout drying, allowing for wonderfully complex flavour to come through in the final cup.

Cerro Buena Vista from Bonanza Coffee Roasters showcases the potential of Costa Rica's Brunca region, where microclimates support distinctive coffee development. This Catuai varietal undergoes [red honey processing](processing methods explainer), a method that balances the fruit-forward characteristics of natural processing with the clarity of washed coffees—creating layered flavor potential. Roasted by Bonanza, this lot presents the complexity that distinguishes carefully sourced and processed beans. Brunca-grown coffees benefit from the region's elevation and soil composition, factors that encourage nuanced cup profiles. Whether you're exploring what makes [red honey processing](processing methods explainer) distinctive or seeking to understand how varietal and terroir interact, Cerro Buena Vista offers an accessible entry point into Costa Rican specialty coffee.
