High Hill processing Plant in the Valley of Central Costa Rica

(Costa Rica Centro Valle Cerro Alto)

Treatment: black honey treatment

Baking degree: medium baking

Flavor description: when you grind the coffee beans, you can feel the tangerine peel, spices and some smoky aromas. when the coffee powder comes into contact with water, you will find a stronger smell of tangerine peel and a more obvious feeling of bitterness at high temperature. there is a strong nutty flavor of almonds and walnuts in the taste, showing a good cleanliness as the temperature drops. And there will be a more supple mellow feeling and bright but not sharp acidity.

The words of the ► bean baker

For Costa Rican baking, we adopt a habitual medium baking to reduce the acidity that is too sharp. In the detail adjustment, it is very important to determine the timing of the beans, because it is related to whether the coffee will have a grassy flavor. Alice and Emma regard removing the miscellaneous flavor as the main purpose of this coffee. After several adjustments, the grass flavor is gone, but the cleanliness is not very satisfactory, so we try to adjust the wind speed faster than we normally bake any coffee, creating a very good cleanliness of this Columbia black honey!

Costa Rica began to grow coffee in 1779, and the best quality coffee producing areas in recent years are Tarazu, the western valley and the central valley. however, in the past few decades, due to the boom in real estate investment, many coffee farmland has been turned into building land. as a result, coffee production has been greatly affected. San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, lies in the heart of the central valley, where coffee farms are adjacent to homes, and the value of these farms has multiplied several times in a row.

At the end of the 2016 / 2017 coffee harvest season, Costa Rica had almost zero production in very few batches, but within six years, the domestic market for very few batches had grown significantly, and Costa Rica became one of the most popular producing areas. stable quality coffee beans are produced every year.
