This cup of coffee comes from the Bonilla family's "Don Mayo" micro-processing plant. This is really one of the oldest microprocessing plants, and since 2003, Hector Bonillia (Hector Bonilla) and his sons have been working to improve the production of the plant. This special product comes from a La Loma farm in Leon Cortes de Tarrazu in Leon Cortez de Tarazu, which is also the "top three" coffee in COE, Costa Rica. La Loma lies between 1750 and 1875 meters and is almost entirely grown in Kaddura varieties. They use Penagos for mechanical washing at work (a natural pulp version that accurately replicates the actual "wet treatment"), efficient water-saving machines, dry parchment on elevated beds, and then do all the dry grinding themselves. That's part of the beauty of the Familia Bonilla / Don Mayo Mill, their ability to supervise the process from coffee harvesting to grinding raw coffee. Like many micro-factories, Don Mayo processes coffee from his farm and buys whole cherries from local farmers and sells them as a single micro-farm.

This batch of products from the Don Mayo micro-processing plant smells like roasted almonds and a touch of honey on City +. The wet fragrance smells of brown sugar in the steam, with the smell of roasted nuts. The sweetness of brewed coffee, raw sugar and caramel sauce is impressive. When cooled, the beer gives off a hint of golden raisins and walnuts, while medium acidity has the strength of water and orange. Full City baking shows a sweet taste of dark chocolate and is sweet because of bitterness. For those who are interested in single-source espresso ("SO" espresso), this is a good starting point. The lens has a sticky texture and extracts dark flavors of bitter sweet chocolate and spicy citrus, adding to the sharp contrast.
