Costa Rica Sl-28 Yellow Honey

Summary

This coffee comes from Finca El Venado, a family-run farm in Grecia, Costa Rica's West Valley, operated by brothers Alexander and Magali Delgado and their families. Grown at 1200-1900 meters above sea level, this lot features the SL-28 variety and is processed using the Yellow Honey method, where mucilage is left on the seed during drying. The cup profile offers upfront toffee-like sweetness with notes of cooked fruit and raisin, balanced by bright tart acidity, finishing clean with candy-corn sweetness.
