costa rica coffee
by casa espresso coffee roasters · bradford, uk
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is costa rica el encino, a honey costa rica from casa espresso coffee roasters.
it leads with bright lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, then moves into red apple before settling into caramel, honey, and honeycomb on the finish. the honey process gives it more sweetness and body than a fully washed costa rican coffee would typically have.
it is grown in costa rica and processed using the honey method, meaning the coffee cherry skin is removed but some of the sticky fruit mucilage is left on the bean while it dries, which boosts sweetness and adds fruity complexity.
filter methods such as pour over or aeropress will highlight the citrus brightness and the caramel sweetness most clearly. if pulling it as espresso, dial toward a slightly longer ratio to keep the acidity balanced against the natural honey sweetness.
