COSTA RICA HERBAZU #1508

The Herbazu mill (from the family name: Hermanos Barrantes Zuniga) was founded in 2001 to "create the best possible coffee and take the risks to do so". Their hard work speaks for itself: their coffees have won the Costa Rican Cup of Excellence maybe 5 times, and it's known as the leader in specialty coffee from Costa Rica's prime West Valley region. You'll taste a real artisan spirit this cup: they modestly call it a natural, but with these folks, nothing is "just" a natural. Their version of natural is red honey, a time-intensive, rarely-seen processing method that results in the bombastic sweetness of a natural but with the clean profile of a washed coffee. Jeff, the owner of Zoka Coffee Roasters, selected this coffee himself, directly from the farmer, on a recent trip to origin. They only bought a small amount of it, and we're lucky that our friends at Zoka gave us the chance to share this exceptional, newly-arrived coffee with you!

With its sparkling sweet flavors and super creamy , the exceptional Costa Rica Herbazu is the cream (soda) of the crop! We only have 100 bags of this gem, and coffee of this caliber never stays around for long. With a cupping score of 90+, this red honey microlot represents the very pinnacle of handcrafted specialty coffee from Costa Rica. Enjoy this special cup while it lasts -- sip it and sparkle!
