Description
Variety: Caturra
Processing: Double Washed
Crop Year: 2017
Origin: Tarrazu, Costa Rica
Producers: The Robles Brothers
Altitude: 1500m
The Robles brothers were taught to grow coffee by their father, the owner of Finca el Balar. They have carried on the family business by opening their own coffee farms in the region, but they work together to manage their father's original farm in his old age. They were some of the first farmers in Tarrazu to open a micro-mill for their coffee, and have been producing excellent specialty-grade coffee ever since.
These Caturra beans are double washed for an amazing sweetness and clarity of flavor that we've come to love from Costa Rican coffees. A red apple note provides some texture and a crisp finish that pairs well with this coffee's bright citrus note. Don't worry about things getting too tart, however, because there's plenty of sweetness filling out this cup. It's an all-around great coffee, and we're happy to share it with you!

Great Roast
Solid coffee. Good rubustness and earthiness, but a bit lacking in complexity. Edit: this coffee has evolved the last few days and now reveals a caramel nuttiness and smooth creaminess and sweetness throughout. Superb.

My favorite so far
Really good. Very robust, good mouthfeel. Just the right amount of fruitiness without being overbearing.

Did not order thus
I did not order this coffee but was still charged and shipped it, so I think it’s pretty terrible. Work on your customer service and maybe I’ll give this company another chance.

Best coffee yet
This has been the best coffee I've received yet! So smooth and balanced, but exceptionally bold.
