Farm: La Eva Region: West Valley Process: Washed Variety: Catuaí & Caturra Elevation: 1350-1750 MASL

Sourced from the West Valley region of Costa Rica, this La Eva lot showcases the refined profile typical of high-elevation cultivation. Produced by La Eva and roasted by Press Coffee Roasters, the coffee features the Catuaí varietal, which is widely recognized for its adaptability and consistent cup quality. Because this coffee undergoes a washed process, the inherent characteristics of the bean are highlighted with clarity, allowing the delicate notes of cream soda, floral aromatics, and honeysuckle to take center stage.

When evaluating such nuanced profiles, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to better identify the subtle interplay between sweetness and acidity. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their clean, bright acidity and transparent flavor expression, the specific terroir of the West Valley often contributes a distinct elegance to the final cup. This selection offers a balanced experience that highlights the meticulous care taken during both the harvest and the roasting process.
