Coffee Flavour Deep Fudge, Ripe Banana Sweetness

Pablo Bonilla is the owner of La Ladera farm, which grows Caturra and Catuai coffee varieties. The farm has a unique topography, with Catuai thriving in higher elevations and Caturra preferring medium and lower areas. Although both varieties require similar agronomic care, managing the 20-hectare farm, which sits at an altitude of 1,850 meters on steep terrain, is still a lot of hard work.

During the harvest season, the farm employs a team of 120-130 pickers, mostly from Panama. La Ladera has been hiring the same core group of pickers for the last two decades. The farm covers their transportation from Panama to Costa Rica and provides accommodation for the entire harvest season.

An apricot sweetness runs throughout the cup with full hit of fudge on the finish and into the aftertaste. As it cools. a ripe banana edge comes in alongside and adds extra depth to the sweetness.
