Each coffee parcel differentiates from its neighbors by having its own micro-climate, but the Costa Rica La Minta is not combined with any other farms in a cooperative scenario. Each coffee is milled by itself to maintain integrity, and workers only pick cherries when they have fully ripened. The farm uses acclaimed gardening techniques all by hand.

The La Minita Tarrazu sports beautiful honeysuckle-like blossoms after the initial rain and its birthplace is considered one of the best coffee origins in the world. A Rainforest Certified Alliance coffee, these beans come with the guarantee of a better life for the people and land it comes from––better infrastructure, a more sustainable ecosystem, farming education, and gender equality. Estate owners watch over every process to ensure every bean you roast reaches perfection.

Cupping Notes: Brilliant acidity, a medium body, and sweet flavors of orange citrus, caramelized sugar, and fine chocolate. It is impeccably balanced with a long, satisfying finish.
