Costa Rica La Pradera Washed

La Minita bought this Costa Rican farm (La Pradera) because it has just the absolute ideal altitude and climate (rain shadow) for growing coffee. The beans are fresh off the mill, perfectly sorted, amazingly fresh and sweet.

The coffee should be treated as a light roast and has a rose floral, sweet, mouth-watering red apple juicy taste and finishes with chocolate. 

It’s best when roasted slowly; the beans are dense, grown at extremely high altitude, and they require more heat than most. Pull it out about 25 seconds after the 1st cracks to find the rose, the crisp clarity, apple juiciness, and wonderful smoothness. It’s a coffee that you can brew and have sit there for an hour, and still not be bitter or astringent after it cooled down.
