Costa Rica - Colima - Natural

Very fruit forward with a delicious sweetness and boozy aroma, this Natural Costa Rican is beautiful brewed black. With notes of Apricot, Nougat and Orange, this coffee is wonderfully refreshing and complex. We’ve been using it as a filter and can’t wait to put it through Cold Brew. Enjoy.

The Castro-Kahle family has owned Hacienda Colima since the 1840s.

It is currently managed by Alejo Kahle Castro, a fifth generation producer whose commitment to quality and innovation has earned him second place in COE with his other farm, Volcán Azul.

Hacienda Colima is 14 kilometres as the crow flies from Volcan Azul, where all of the ripe cherries are taken to be processed, and is perched on the slopes of the Barva Volcano at 1350-1500MASL.

The farm's main crop is sugar cane, but this is quickly changing as demand for high-quality Costa Rican coffee grows.
