Beans are bagged into 1 and 5-pound bags.
Costa Rica continues to innovate with its coffee processing, and the Hot Spring Water Washed method is a remarkable twist on traditional washed coffee. This process uses naturally heated thermal spring water to ferment pulped coffee, accelerating mucilage breakdown while enhancing clarity and complexity.
At the San Diego wet mill, the mineral-rich spring water not only speeds up fermentation but also infuses the beans with subtle mineral notes. The result? A bright, flavorful cup with the signature fruit notes of the Tarrazú region, complemented by a refined hint of spice.
Tarrazú is Costa Rica’s most renowned and highest-producing coffee region, earning Denomination of Origin status in 2019. Known for its bright acidity and full body, Tarrazú coffee stands apart from the broader Los Santos area. Prioritizing quality over quantity, this lot thrives at 1,600 meters in nutrient-rich red clay soil, a humid climate, and tropical temperatures averaging 24ºC—ideal conditions for cultivating some of Costa Rica’s finest coffee.
