VOLCAN AZUL H1

At the famous Volcan Azul estate in Costa Rica, producer Alejo has introduced modern fermentation methods to achieve extraordinary flavour. For the first time ever, we are excited to feature the H1 varietal. Fermented in 'warm anaerobic' conditions, this is a coffee with tropical fruit and sparkling sweetness: a must-try for those in search of our funky profiles!

Produced by Alejo at Volcan Azul in Costa Rica, this H1 varietal lot showcases the innovative approach of The Barn. The coffee undergoes a warm anaerobic fermentation, a technique that intentionally manipulates the environment during the processing methods to influence the final cup profile. While traditional washed coffees often highlight clean acidity, anaerobic processing can introduce complex, ferment-driven characteristics that push the boundaries of a bean's inherent profile.

In this specific offering, the result is a cup defined by vibrant tropical fruit and a distinct sparkling sweetness. When evaluating such unique profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the specific nuances of these fruit-forward notes. By combining a rare varietal like H1 with precise, experimental fermentation, this coffee serves as a compelling example of how modern processing techniques can transform the sensory experience of a single-origin harvest.
