la casita is a costa rican coffee from the west valley region, roasted by axil coffee roasters hawthorn. it's processed using an anaerobic method, where cherries ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before drying. this process drives the pronounced stone fruit and peach character, with honey and honeycomb sweetness rounding it out. the flavour profile sits on the sweeter, fruit-forward end of the spectrum, making it well suited to filter brewing where those softer, syrupy qualities can open up clearly. if you're pulling espresso, expect a rich, fruit-tinged shot that works well as a straight pour or with milk.
