cerro alto natural is a costa rican coffee from axil coffee roasters hawthorn, grown with an unusual mix of gesha, sl-28, and caturra varietals. the natural process means the coffee dries inside the whole fruit, which typically draws out heavier sweetness and pronounced fruit character compared to washed coffees. the blend of varietals brings together gesha's floral, delicate qualities with the bolder, berry-driven tendencies of sl-28 and the balanced body of caturra. because it's naturally processed, it suits brewing methods that highlight sweetness and texture, such as filter or pour over, where those fruited and floral qualities have room to come through clearly.

common questions

What does Cerro Alto - Natural taste like?

the combination of gesha, sl-28, and caturra in a natural process tends to produce pronounced fruit sweetness, floral notes from the gesha, and a fuller body than you'd expect from a washed costa rican coffee. the natural drying method amplifies ripe, fermented-fruit character across all three varietals.

How is Cerro Alto - Natural grown and processed?

the coffee is grown in costa rica using three distinct varietals, gesha, sl-28, and caturra, then processed naturally, meaning the whole cherry is dried with the fruit intact before milling. this approach is less common in costa rica, where washed processing dominates.

How should I brew Cerro Alto - Natural?

filter brewing methods such as pour over suit naturally processed coffees well, as they allow the fruit-forward sweetness and floral complexity of the gesha, sl-28, and caturra blend to express clearly without being masked by pressure or milk.
