costa rica coffee
by cortez coffee roasters · phoenix, usa
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is finca amalita micro-lot blend, an anaerobic costa rica from cortez coffee roasters.
expect bright citrus character, lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, layered with jasmine florals and a sweetness that lands closer to honey and honeycomb than sugar. the anaerobic process gives those fruit and floral notes extra intensity.
the coffee is a micro-lot blend from the naranjo region of costa rica, processed using anaerobic fermentation, where the cherries ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before drying. this method concentrates flavor and boosts the fruity, floral qualities in the finished cup.
as a medium roast with bright acidity and floral complexity, this coffee suits filter methods, pour-over or aeropress, which let the lemon, grapefruit, and jasmine notes come through cleanly. if pulling espresso, the honey sweetness rounds out well with milk.
cortez coffee roasters sits on east vista del cerro drive in tempe, and those 113 google reviewers giving it a 4.8-star rating know something the rest of us should pay attention to. single-origin beans here aren't just a marketing term. they're a promise that someone cared enough to trace the coffee back to its source, to understand what makes each lot special. the regulars who keep coming back understand this difference. when you taste coffee that's been roasted with intention, you feel it in the first sip. the brightness hits differently. the body carries weight. this isn't about conquest or exploration despite the name, it's about respect for the bean and the people who depend on coffee being done right. tempe has plenty of places to grab caffeine. cortez gives you something worth slowing down for.
