Cup test report:

"St. Martin Farm" is located on the high ridge of the famous Tarasu region, a forgotten village that cannot be found on a map. This is a coffee farm made up of 35 small families. It is located on a very high terrain, some even reaching nearly 2,000 meters. Although the yield is low, the quality of the coffee produced is very excellent.

The reason why this farm was noticed, in fact, there is a short story, saying that in 1994, a group of Peace Corps volunteers from the United States entered this remote mountain area to contribute to the poor farmers in the mountain area. they developed a set of standards, including planting, harvesting and even setting up a small treatment plant for later washing treatment, but in the process they inadvertently found This town has a very special microclimate and a very native and excellent quality variety of old coffee. So they took the coffee to participate in many competitions, and it was sure enough that it was of excellent quality, and even won the International Cup of Excellence awards five times in a row.

This is a very high quality Costa Rican coffee. First of all, I roasted it to the baking degree measured by the cup. After placing it for a day, I began to evaluate it. After grinding it into powder, it is a kind of flower fragrance. A feeling like a rose, very elegant, drupe and toffee taste, is also quite obvious. Then add hot water, break the dregs, pick up the dregs, and smell its wet aroma, which has the feeling of plum and honey stamens. Pick up my cup tester and start sipping-a clear sweetness with the flavor of caramel and nuts, especially when the aftertaste comes back, a very clear feeling of chocolate and caramel reverberates in my mouth! Wow ~ a very wonderful smell combination! As the temperature cools slowly, more berry flavors appear, and the brightness of blackberries and apples is very delicate, clear and sweet.

On the whole, it is not a strong flavor, but a smooth texture, moderate mellow (body), brilliant, so clear, a "good" Costa Rican coffee you can't miss.
