Costa Rica Don Eli Milenio Natural

Summary

This Costa Rican coffee comes from the Don Eli farm in El Llano de La Piedra, San Marcos, Los Santos, produced by Carlos Montero and his family. It is made from the Milenio variety, a disease-resistant F1 hybrid between T5296 and Sudan Rume developed by CIRAD and CATIE. The coffee undergoes a carefully controlled natural process: cherries ferment in plastic bags for several days, then dry slowly on raised beds for about a month. It offers clear flavors of cranberry and red wine, a burst of apple and apricot fruitiness, and a smooth, syrup-like lingering sweetness.
