Flavor description of Costa Rican Tarazhu Coffee beans A brief introduction to the planting environment

Palate: bright and varied soft fruit acids, such as oranges, berries, raspberries, etc., which softens and brings sweetness on the palate, with a rich caramel-like Body. In the middle, there are sweet hazelnuts, sweet spices, fudge, stiff flowers and cool flowers in the nose, melons, almonds, sweet limes, sun-dried fruits, roasted nuts and chocolate, full overall flavor, long-lasting and changeable finish, especially the sweetness of spices.

Costa Rica mostly uses washing treatment, and in recent years there has also been an alternative half-sun treatment (Miel) or Honey Coffee, which can be translated as "as sweet as honey" treatment. The coffee that Costa Rica claims to be "as sweet as honey" is Honey Coffee on the sack, which is quite eye-catching. It has improved the Brazilian half-sun method to increase sweetness, focusing on keeping the pectin layer glued to the pods as completely as possible, removing the peel and moving the sticky pods to an outdoor viaduct, similar to Kenyad's practice, so as not to absorb the odor and moisture of the land, then expose to the sun and air-dry for about a week or two. During this period, you have to turn the pods every hour to make them evenly dry, so that the beans can fully absorb the fruit aroma and sugar essence of the thick pectin layer, and put them into a wooden container to ripen after dehydration. It takes a lot of work, but the fruit of "honey wine" tastes as sweet as honey. The disadvantage is that the risk of this method is very high, and it is easy to mildew and rot when the weather is too wet. Costa Rica is not as dry as it is, but it dares to use the treatment of exposure for a long time, which makes people feel cold sweat, but it also reflects Costa Rican coffee craftsmanship.

Costa Rica's coffee skills are very high, regardless of breeding, planting or post-processing (washing, half-sun) is enough for all producing countries to learn from. However, the supply of famous producing areas falls short of demand, and unscrupulous operators often mix them with high-quality beans in other second-rate producing areas, and the producing areas hundreds of miles away from Tarazhu also dare to fish in troubled waters in the name of Tarazhu, so they have to be careful.
