Specialty beans from Costa Rica roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for filter or cup brewing. A profile characterized by intense florals, deep, elegant fruitiness and a high complexity.
Origin: Costa Rica, Brunca region
Producer: Ureña-Rojas family
Farm: Cafe Rivense
Varietal: caturra
Processing: natural anaerobic
Altitude: 1800 m a.s.l.
Harvest: 2023
Cupping score: 87.5 / 100 pts
PROCESSING
First the cherries go through a short pre-drying process, then they are sealed for 2 or 3 days in airtight tanks, for fermentation with limited oxygen. Then they are dried on long African tables under something that looks like your grandparents' foil box on the plot, you know, where they grow tomatoes, cucumbers. Only like seven times longer.
THE FARM
The family business of Mr and Mrs Ureña, where everything runs like Swiss clockwork. We've been going there for three years now and it's a beautiful thing. Vista al Chirripo is the highest plantation on the farm, where a small wooden house stands right next to the trees of this caturra, with windows spanning the highest peak in the country. It cannot be described with words, but if you want to impress someone the most in your life, take that someone right there and wait together for the sunrise over a cup of coffee. Just don't kill the mood with a question about the number of clicks, please.
ROASTER'S COMMENT
It comes to pass that every year, since the very beginning of jars, we have presented a different lot from the Vista al Chirripo plot! This time an anaerobic caturra, loaded with intense wine-fruit morsels. A fat body. Drags on in the after. Plus a shot of flower for dessert. Is it worth it? Does the pope shit in the woods?!
PACKAGING
The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact! A plastic jar turns out to be pretty eco-friendly, just remember to put it in the right container, or find a creative way to reuse it at home.
