From the roaster
A rather cool coffee that does the Kenya Varietal thing but as a honey process Costa. This is more rare than it is anything else but without selling it short it's still a solid Honey process coffee.

Context
The Costa Rica Cerro San Luis SL 28, roasted by Royal Mile Coffee, offers a compelling look at the intersection of unique varietal expression and regional terroir. Sourced from the Cerro San Luis area, this lot features the SL 28 varietal, which is historically celebrated for its complex acidity and distinct profile. By utilizing the honey process, the producers have balanced the inherent characteristics of the bean with the sweetness imparted by the remaining fruit mucilage during drying.
When evaluating such specific lots, it is helpful to consult a flavor wheel to better identify the nuanced notes that emerge from these processing techniques. While honey-processed coffees often bridge the gap between the clarity of washed beans and the intensity of naturals, the specific outcome remains deeply tied to the micro-climate of the farm. This selection serves as a refined example of how careful cultivation and processing can highlight the potential of a single varietal.
