Romario Umaña

OriginCosta Rica
ProcessNatural

Summary

Finca El Centro is located in the Canet micro-region of Tarrazú, at the top of La Cruz mountain in Costa Rica, at 1,900 metres above sea level. Romario Umaña represents the second generation on the farm; his father planted the two hectares with Red Catuai in the mid-1990s. This naturally processed lot is dried on raised beds for 22 days, regularly turned and closely monitored, producing a very clean natural coffee with a clear but controlled fruit expression. The cup is sweet and balanced with notes of plum, banana and white chocolate, a base of cola, cocoa and ripe fruit, wine-like acidity and a silky body with a long-lasting finish.
