Costa Rica San Martin de Leon Cortes

Just in, and fresh out of the roaster - Costa Rica San Martin de Leon Cortes.

San Martin de Leon Cortes is a small village on a high ridge, and not located on any official map. It is situated on along a part-paved and part-dirt road in the famed Tarrazu coffee-groing region of Costa Rica. This coffee is sourced from small producers in the area and processed at a nearby mill that has prepared some of our nicest lots in years past. So it's the best of both worlds for coffee quality; a great source for coffee cherries, and great processing and patio-drying.

In the cup it's winey fruits from cherry to berry, hints of apple and floral notes with a clean and sweet caramel essence. Silky. Sweet. Super.
