Costa Rica Santa Rosa 1900 Espresso

A yellow honey process gives this Catuai its balance of body and sweetness, with moderate mucilage retention adding weight without sacrificing clarity. Grown between 1,900 and 2,000 meters, the coffee matures slowly, supporting softer acidity and a steady, consistent structure.

This espresso from Verve Coffee Roasters showcases beans from Costa Rica's Santa Rosa region, grown at 1900–2000 meters above sea level. The lot features Catuai varietal processed via the honey method, which typically allows extended fruit contact with the bean during drying, often contributing sweetness and body to the cup. Honey-processed coffees tend toward balanced, fruit-forward profiles compared to their washed or natural counterparts. At this elevation, Santa Rosa's beans develop complexity that can support espresso's concentrated extraction. This combination of origin, altitude, varietal, and processing suggests a nuanced shot worth exploring across your flavor wheel to identify the specific sensory notes present.
