Los Anonos, Costa Rica
“Sweet Tooth” Single Origin Espresso
Price range: $21.50 through $124.99
The anti-blend made for espresso adventurers, our Sweet Tooth offering changes several times throughout the year.
This is our fifth year offering this spectacular coffee from Costa Rica. Marvin Rodriguez, along with his brother Felipe, and their partner Ricardo Perez, co-own the famed West Valley mill, Helsar de Zarcero. All three producers are champions of sustainable coffee growing practices, pioneering modern techniques that yield excellent results.
This lot of Caturra from Los Anonos was grown at elevations around 1750 MASL. The coffee is carefully harvested by hand, with excellent attention being paid to ripeness. The fruit is then brought to Helsar to be processed. It is mechanically washed using an aquapulper before being laid out to dry on covered raised beds. A real taste of paradise!
