El Venado - Costa Rica

el venado is a honey-processed coffee from the west valley region of costa rica, roasted by café pascal at torsplan. it's built from an unusual blend of varietals, gesha, sl-28, caturra, and bourbon, which brings range to the cup. the honey process leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, contributing to the sweetness that shows up in the caramel, honey, and honeycomb tasting notes. expect a soft, sweet cup with good body. it suits filter methods that let that natural sweetness come through cleanly, such as pour-over or aeropress with a moderate brew temperature.
