Coffee Information
Costa Rica: Granitos, Mejorada Typica, Black Honey Up front are delicate florals, but they're backed up by a super silky body. Lime zest and a little twist of grapefruit come next, with a glug of cream sweetness, before a soft raspberry hangs on the aftertaste of this exceptionally well balanced cup. The name “Granitos de Altura” translates to “High Altitude Little Beans” - a nod to both the terrain and the fastidious care that defines their approach. This small but mighty operation is a shining example of Costa Rica’s micromill revolution. We've loved the Honey-process Catuai coffees we've had from Granitos, so this year we asked if they had any other varietals available for something a bit different. They recommended trying a couple of different options and this Typica Mejorado stood out on the cupping table. World- Famous Tarrazú The Tarrazú coffee region sits halfway down Costa Rica, towards the western coast. The region is made up of the Dota, San Marcos (Tarrazú) and Leon Cortes Cantons, thread through by beautiful mountains that are part of the Talamanca Sierra. It is famous for producing some of the very best coffee in the country, with coffee production being the main industry for local residents of the Tarrazú canton, making up a whopping 95% of the local economy. During the harvest in December, January and February, the area’s population triples with seasonal workers needed to bring in the crop. The mountain landscape provides perfect conditions for the production of high-quality specialty coffee beans. The plants thrive in fertile volcanic soils at an ideal average temperature of just under 20°C and the steep slopes providing the right balance of high altitudes for slow cherry maturation and shelter for the delicate Arabica coffee trees. Tarrazú coffees are prized for their bright acidity, floral aromatics, and clean, sweet profiles.
