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.

The roaster

Big Shoulders Coffee
Big Shoulders Coffee

Big Shoulders is a Chicago roaster with a fittingly no-nonsense, work-hard attitude. They roast fresh through the week — rotating seasonal single origins alongside year-round blends like the bold Night Shift and a dark 1848 espresso — and there's real craft behind it: head roaster Diego Guartan won the 2025 US Coffee Roasting Championship after a decade running their program. They put weight on sustainable sourcing too, including a line supporting women-owned farms in Colombia. There's a café in the city, and they ship nationwide with free delivery. A great everyday pick if you want dependable, championship-roasted specialty coffee from the Midwest.
