Context
Produced by the Volcan Azul estate in Costa Rica, this offering from The Barn showcases the distinct character of the Caturra varietal. As a natural-processed coffee, the cherries are dried with the fruit intact, a technique that often imparts a syrupy body and pronounced sweetness to the final cup. While natural-processed coffees tend to show heavier fruit profiles, this specific lot highlights notes of dried fig and blueberry.
Understanding the impact of processing methods is essential for identifying how post-harvest handling influences the sensory experience. When evaluating these complex profiles, referencing a flavor wheel can help drinkers categorize the nuanced fruit characteristics found in this selection. By focusing on the synergy between the estate’s cultivation and the roaster’s approach, this coffee provides a clear example of how traditional varietals respond to careful, fruit-forward processing in the high-altitude landscapes of Central America.
