Farami: Honey Processed Caturra, Typica & Bourbon from Santa Maria, Costa Rica

Discover Farami, a vibrant honey-processed coffee grown in the highlands of Tarrazú by the dedicated husband-and-wife team of Juan Luis Fallas and Maria Eugenia Ramirez. With a focus on sustainable farming and hands-on processing, this lot exemplifies how small-scale producers are redefining quality through innovation and care.

About Farami

Nestled in Santa Maria de Dota at elevations of 1,600–1,700 metres above sea level, Juan and Maria’s farm, Quemado de Dota, enjoys the ideal climate for slow cherry maturation. The result is denser beans and a deeper development of flavour. After leaving the Dota Cooperative, the couple built their own micro mill to gain full control over the quality of their coffee. Today, they manage two hectares of coffee trees alongside a mixed-use farm that includes livestock whose methane and composted manure support their home and soil health—showcasing a truly sustainable, closed-loop approach.

Small-Scale Excellence and Honey Processing

This lot combines Caturra, Typica, and Bourbon varieties, processed using the honey method. After selectively harvesting ripe cherries, Juan and Maria soak them overnight before de-pulping—a unique step they believe enhances the coffee’s natural fruit characteristics. The coffee is then dried on raised African beds under the shade of native trees, allowing for slow, even drying that preserves clarity and structure in the cup.

Flavour Profile: Plum, Dark Toffee, Orange

Farami offers a vibrant yet balanced profile, with notes of plum and orange layered over a deep dark toffee sweetness. The honey process brings a gentle fruit complexity to the cup while preserving clarity, structure, and a smooth, elegant finish.

Transcend Coffee

Context

The Farami from Tarrazu, Costa Rica showcases the work of producers Juan Luis Fallas and Maria Eugenia Ramirez, who cultivate Caturra, Typica and Bourbon varietals at 1600–1700 masl. Transcend Coffee employs honey processing to bring out plum, dark toffee, and orange characteristics—a combination that reflects how this method can enhance both fruit-forward and deeper caramel-driven notes. Honey-processed coffees tend to occupy a middle ground between the clarity of washed coffees and the body of naturals, and this lot exemplifies that balanced profile through its interplay of bright citrus against darker, molasses-like sweetness.
