From the roaster

At 1,850 meters in Tarrazú, slower cherry maturation supports clarity and composure in the cup. Red Honey processing preserves natural sweetness while maintaining structure, allowing Strawberry and Blackberry to feel layered rather than dense. The result is a coffee that emphasizes delicacy and polish, showing a lighter, more precise expression of Costa Rica.

Context

This lot from Don Cayito in Costa Rica's Tarrazú region offers a single-origin showcase of Typica Mejorado grown at 1850 masl. The red honey processing method—which leaves some fruit contact during fermentation—bridges the gap between fully washed and natural coffees, often yielding balanced sweetness with fruit-forward character. Verve's tasting notes of strawberry and blackberry suggest the red honey process has layered berry complexity into the cup while maintaining the clarity typical of this varietal at elevation.
