Coffee Bio:

La Cuesta Farm is located in the sub-region of La Cuesta, in the Tarrazu Region. It was planted 25 years ago by Gabriel’s uncle.

Eventually his aunt inherited the farm and decided to sell it to a buyer named Chichi Navarro. Gabriel was able to buy it back about 10 years ago.

The name of the farm was given due to its location at La Cuesta.

 

Processing:

This coffee was processed at La Palmichal Micro Mill. The depulper is calibrated so that only the skin is removed from the fruits whilst 100% of the mucilage is preserved.

The coffee was slowly dried on a concrete patios over 11 days. The final phase of the drying process was carried in a carefully calibrated mechanical drier for a better uniformity in humidity levels.

The coffee is then rested in parchment for two months before it is sorted by weight, density, size, and colour.
