Glen Lyon Coffee

Context

Costa Rica's Aquiares estate contributes this natural-processed lot through Glen Lyon Coffee, a roaster specializing in single-origin selections. Natural processing tends to produce coffees with fuller body and pronounced fruit characteristics—a marked contrast to washed methods—and this Centroamericano varietal carries that profile forward. The Tarrazu region where Aquiares operates has earned recognition for its volcanic soils and consistent cup quality. This represents a deliberate choice by the producer to highlight the varietal's inherent character through minimal intervention fermentation, allowing the fruit development that natural methods encourage.
