El Coyote Typica Red Honey

Roast Date: October 1st

Typica is one of the oldest coffee varieties in the world, and one of the hardest to justify growing. It yields less, it's fragile, and most farms in Costa Rica moved on from it long ago. Ale and Tacho Solis went ahead and planted it in 2018, way up at 2000m on their farm El Coyote, then waited five years for the first harvest. What they got is an elegant, very tasty coffee with delicate florals and soft peach. We've bought from these brothers since the day they opened their mill, and it's lots like this that keep us coming back.

Produced by Ale and Tacho Solis in Costa Rica, the El Coyote Typica Red Honey represents a meticulous approach to cultivation at 2000 masl. This lot features the Typica varietal, a plant historically significant for its role in the global spread of coffee and its reputation for balanced, clean cup profiles. By utilizing the Red Honey method, the producers leave a specific portion of the fruit’s mucilage on the bean during drying, which often influences the final sweetness and body of the brew.

Sourced by Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters, this coffee highlights the delicate florals and soft peach notes characteristic of high-elevation Typica. While individual experiences may vary, those exploring the flavor wheel will find this profile offers a nuanced look at how specific processing techniques can elevate the inherent qualities of a classic varietal.
