Why we love it : High in Costa Rica’s mountains, only a small selection of Arabica coffee beans is soaked in rainforest hot spring waters. The thermal waters are brought down to the wet mill – their temperature dropping over 12 hours from 70˙C down to 18˙C. As the waters cool, the pulped coffee soaks in the mineral-rich water. The warmer water speeds up the fermentation and brings out this rare coffee’s finest characteristics – balanced and clean like no other, it shines in the cup with crystal clarity. The scarcity of this coffee comes from this rare process – no one else does it. It highlights the malty sweet cereal character of these unique craftsmen’s coffee.

Roasting
We divide this single origin coffee into two parts and split the coffee. The first split is roasted to a medium-dark roast that develops sweet malty notes. The second is roasted slightly more intensely to reach a darker colour and the desired intensity.
Aromatic Profile
This unique process of fermentation in hot spring water from the rainforest reveals an incredibly balanced and pure taste in the coffee. Master Origin Costa Rica is full-bodied but mellow. A malty sweet cereal note runs through it with crystal clarity.
