A remarkable Catuai varietal sourced from the Alto El Vapor micro mill in the Dota micro-region of Tarrazú, Costa Rica. This exceptional coffee is the result of the dedication and expertise of producer Delfina Porras, whose commitment to quality and innovation shines through in every cup, processed in collaboration with our good friend Diego Robelo from Aquiares estate.
Grown at an altitude of 1,850 meters, this Catuai coffee benefits from the microclimate of the Dota region, renowned for producing some of Costa Rica’s finest coffees. The Alto El Vapor micro mill, under the stewardship of Delfina Porras, employs meticulous farming practices that prioritize sustainability and environmental conservation. Notably, the farm maintains 90% of its area under forest conservation, contributing to the preservation of local biodiversity.
This coffee undergoes an anaerobic natural process, beginning with a 72-hour sealed tank fermentation using recycled mosto (a term referring to the mucilage or sweet pulp of the coffee cherry). This method enhances the coffee’s inherent sweetness and complexity. Following fermentation, the beans are sun-dried on raised beds for 15 days, ensuring optimal moisture content and flavor development.
